Description: | An incomplete cast and sheet copper alloy buckle of probable early post-medieval date. The circular buckle has a sheet plate which is rectangular with rounded corners. It measures 37.8mm by 20.1mm by 2.4mm and weighs 7.3g. The buckle's outside edge has a projecting central knop. This is oval with a pointed end and is decorated with several incised lines. A corresponding knop on the other side of the frame has broken off. The buckle's central bar is slightly narrowed and iron corrosion in this area suggests that the pin was made from iron. At the end of the plate there is a large copper alloy rivet. The brooch is similar to no. 275 in Whitehead's 'Buckles 1250-1800' (2003, p. 48) although this example does not have a plate.
