Title
Late Medieval to early Post Medieval buckle
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy double-looped spectacle buckle dating from the late Medieval to Post Medieval periods, circa AD1500-1650. The frame survives intact but the pin is missing. The damage is not new. The frame has pointed outer loops. On the face of the frame a groove is present at the apex of both of the loops. The grooves are decorative but would also act as a pin rest. The interior edges of the loops are chamfered on the upper and lower faces of the frame. The pin bar is thinned. The reverse of the frame is plain and undecorated. The surfaces of the frame have a mid green patina and are worn as a result of movement in the plough soil.

Length: 38.2mm. Width: 22.63mm. Thickness: 2.93mm. Weight: 5.0g.

A similar buckle is recorded in Whitehead:2003, p55, fig 316.
