Description: | A cast copper alloy two piece buckle. The buckle consists of a rectangular frame with rounded corners. The inner edges of the frame are thickened. The frame is drilled, and an iron spindle runs widthways through the centre. Attached to this is the cast copper alloy chape. This is shaped like an anchor and has three spikes which are all complete. The anchor lies to the reverse of the buckle; the spikes protrude over the obverse inner edge. The inner edges of the reverse of the frame are bevelled. There are traces of iron corrosion product at either end of the spindle.It is unclear which metal the frame is made from, possibly gun metal or a copper alloy with high tin content. It is an even mid grey in colour. The chape is copper alloy and is mid greyish green in colour. This buckle dates to the 18th century.
