Description: | A cast and sheet copper alloy buckle of probable post-medieval date. The buckle measures 43.2mm by 21.8mm by 5.1mm and weighs 6.5g. The frame is simple and round with a central bar and a projection from each outside edge. One of these is narrow with a round cross-section and curves forwards; the end appears to have been broken. The other projection is flat and flares out into a wedge shape. It is decorated with four faintly stamped crescents, set parallel to each other. The buckle also has an incomplete separately made sheet plate, which is wrapped around the central bar and held together by a rivet. The pin is also wrapped around the central bar and tapers to a point. A broad parallel can be seen in Whitehead's 'Buckles 1250-1800' (2003, p. 48, no. 275). This example also has two projections, although one is in the shape of a bird's head, the wedge-shaped projection forming a corresponding tail.
