Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of Post Medieval date (AD 1600 - AD 1720). Length 32.5mm, width 23mm and 4.8mm thick. Weight 7.66g.In plan, each outer edge is slightly rounded and the sides are concave. At the centre of each outer edge is a pronounced raised swelling and neither of these have any trace of a pin rest. Each side of the frame has similar raised mouldings in the form of two short transverse ribs either side of the position of the bar. Each of these ribs is flanked by a cusped moulding. The central transverse bar is missing. However, drilled holes for the bar on the inner edge of each side of the frame contain the remains of this iron bar. The pin is also missing. The frame has a flat surface on the underside and as viewed from the side it rises slightly from each outer edge towards the centre to create a curved profile. The frame is generally corroded and has a patchy mid-green patina. There is iron staining in the vicinity of the bar location.
