Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Central Bedfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy double-loop buckle, broken into two pieces, dating from the post-Medieval period. The buckle is of flat section and is symmetrical, comprising two 'D-shaped' sides, back-to-back, the central axis bar forming the vertical limb of each. On either side the pin rest takes the form of a moulded flower head with a projecting tab at its outer limit. The axis bar extends into a fleur-de-lis, with an upward curve on either side. The frame has been tinned or silvered. The pin is missing, but its former presence is attested to by a patch of iron corrosion on the axis bar. Le…
