Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Published
A post-medieval copper-alloy rectangular double-looped buckle, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin, but otherwise complete. The frame is plain, flat and wide, with one slightly distorted edge and a narrowed central bar. Corroded, the frame is 35.64 mm long by 23.83 mm wide. It is 2.15 mm thick and weighs 4.61 g. It can be compared with an example illustrated by Whitehead (2003, 75; no. 462), which he dates to c. 1570-1700, but without giving archaeological evidence in support of such a date.

Gold finger-ring This is a thin gold ring inscribed inside in lower case script with an inscription that is hard to read but may be a version of 'Live, love and be happy', as recorded in J, Evans, English Posies and Posy Rings, 1931. Two words certainly are legible in the middle of the text as 'and love'. The maker's mark is not decipherable; due to this fact it is therefore not possible to confirm that this ring is more than 300 years old. Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it cannot be securely dated to pre-1708 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treas…
