Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: York
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy double looped asymmetrical buckle, with an intact strap bar. One loop is rectangular, the other is rounded. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin is missing. The metal has lost most of its original surface, is heavily corroded and the metal is a mid reddish-brown colour. This type of buckle dates from circa 1575 – 1700. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p91.
