BUCKLE

Unique ID: YORYM-3C7C35

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date, circa AD 1550 - 1650. The buckle is a double looped oval with moulded decoration. Trefoil knops, possibly fleur-de-lis, are present at symmetrical points on the outer edge of each loop and a lobed knop decorates each end of the bar. The frame features a series of moulded roundels except on the bar. The reverse is flat and undecorated and the pin no longer remains.

The metal has a mid-red/brown patina and is worn. The buckle is 56.7mm long, 37.2mm wide, 2.8mm thick and weighs 12.8g.

A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead, p.67, no.415 and is dated to circa AD 1550 - 1650.
