BUCKLE
Unique ID: IOW-EF2621
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle (c. 1660-c. 1720 AD).
The iron spindle is largely missing and one corner of the frame is missing.
When complete it had four openwork crescent-shaped perforations at each corner. One of these is missing. Between the openwork corners the outer edges have a trefoil feature, moulded at the front and concave at the rear. The frame is steeply bevelled internally and externally at the front but not at the rear. At each side, where the spindle entered the frame, there is a moulded trefoil feature which is similar to those at the outer edges. These are also concave at the rear. The remains of an iron spindle can be seen within its housing at each side of the frame.
This frame is silvery green and the metal may have a high tin content or could have been tinned. The breaks are old.
34.78 x 24.23 x 3.49mm. Weight: 7.99g.
For a comparative design, see Whitehead 1996: 98, ref: 613.
