Title
Post-Medieval Buckle (sword-belt hanger)
Description
English: An incomplete and misshapen post-Medieval copper-alloy double-looped buckle, a hanger for a sword belt (c. 1500-c.1630).

The lower part of the fame and part of the central bar is missing.

The frame is convex at the front and flat at the rear. The central bar is oval, almost circular, in cross-section. At the top, perpendicular to the bar, a sub-circular suspension loop has a circular hole, 4.7mm in diameter.

This buckle is largely green with flecks of a darker green patina. The breaks are old.

Length: 46.7mm; width: 38.0mm; thickness: 3.9mm; thickness including loop: 11.0mm. Weight: 9.36g.

A similar hanger has been published (Whitehead 2003: 79, ref: 472).
