A complete cast copper alloy double looped trapezoidal buckle of Post Medieval dating (1620 - 1680 AD).<\/p>\n
The buckle frame is sub rectangular \/ trapezoidal in plan, and rectangular in profile. The pin is present and is formed from a single sub-rectangular tapering length of copper alloy which is attached to the central bar by the end being folded to form an irregular 'wrap around' loop. A horizontal incised line on either side, serves as a pin rest . This line forms part of an incised decoration, with a vertical line on either side. Opposite the pin a large rounded triangular integrally cast projection extends. At the corners of the buckle frame are sub-rectangular (rounded diamond shape) projections. The reverse of the buckle is plain and undecorated.<\/p>\n\n
The buckle is a mid brown to mid green colour, with an abraded surface patina. Movement in the ploughsoil has resulted in the buckle becoming asymmetrical, and slightly bowed in profile.<\/p>\n
The buckle measures 42.58mm long, 28.36mm wide, is 7.32mm thick and weighs 8.6 grams.<\/p>\n
The buckle is a dark purple green colour with a slightly abraded polished patina that covers all surfaces. Several comparative examples have been published, in particular #520, #522 and #524 by Whitehead (2003, p82-84). He has dated these buckles to the Post Medieval period (c.1620 to c. 1680 AD).<\/p>\n","notes":null,"old_findID":"LVPL-8F4252","id":"445634","objecttype":"BUCKLE","classification":"double looped","subclass":null,"reuse":null,"created":"2011-06-03 15:48:05","broadperiod":"POST MEDIEVAL","updated":"2011-07-12 10:55:00","treasureID":null,"secwfstage":"4","secuid":"PAS4DE8F4250013DD","findofnote":null,"objecttypecert":"1","datefound1":null,"datefound2":null,"createdBy":"1057","curr_loc":null,"inscription":null,"reason":null,"subsequentAction":"Returned to finder"}],"record":[{"id":"445634","old_findID":"LVPL-8F4252","uniqueID":"PAS4DE8F4250013DD","objecttype":"BUCKLE","classification":"double looped","subclass":null,"length":"42.58","height":null,"width":"28.36","thickness":"7.32","diameter":null,"quantity":"1","other_ref":null,"treasureID":null,"broadperiod":"POST MEDIEVAL","numdate1":"1620","numdate2":"1680","description":"
