Description: | Cast copper alloy medieval/post-medieval buckle. The frame is square and flat in section, with a slight downward bend at either end in profile. The bar is square in section and the pin is missing. The front is decorated along each of its four sides with three diagonal lines, each line formed from paired, close set parallel incised lines. The back is plain, but filing marks are visible. The original surface of the buckle survives, with a dark green, almost black patina. It is slightly abraded in one area. The buckle is 43.12mm long, 41.84mm wide, 2.6mm thick and weighs 13.02g. Identical examples can be seen in CBA Research report 54, 1985, Post medieval sites and their pottery: Moulsham Street, Chelmsford, figure 26, number 10 (recovered from a context dated to 1550-1590), and G Egan & F Pritchard 1991, Dress Accessories, p 97-8 fig 62 nos 497 & 450 (respectively assigned to c1350-1400 & 1400-1450). The buckle recorded here is attributable within a similar date range.
