Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Early Post-Medieval (1500-1700) copper alloy double oval buckle frame, missing its pin/ strap plate. It measures 31.05x22.02mm (internal loops c.9.7x14mm) and weighs 4.35g. The frame has expanded outer edges which carry a raised foliate decoration and are bent forwards a little. The bar is rather narrower than its pointed knops which extend to either side of the frame. The similarity of decoration on these buckles to contemporary sword belt hangers suggests they are part of a suite of items for a sword belt.
