Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of Post Medieval date (AD 1500 - AD 1650). The pin is missing. Length 40.0mm, width 36.5mm and maximum thickness 3.0mm. Weight 9.28g.The frame is asymmetrical in plan and sub-rectangular in shape having concave sides. It is convex at the front face and has a bevelled underside that rises towards the inner edge of the frame. Each end of the frame extends slightly beyond the bar to form pointed knops. The bar is narrowed and recessed and is sub-circular in cross-section with a maximum diameter of 3.0mm. The outer edge is curved in profile and has a large central ornate knop consisting of two lobes. Between the lobes is a groove that forms a pin rest. Within the groove a small area of tinning has survived. At each side of the frame, close to the bar, are two transverse grooves which serve as decoration.The piece does not have a patina and the reddish coloured metal appears to be in good condition.
