Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle. In plan the frame is asymmetrical with one trapezoidal loop and the other one semi-circular. The strap bar is covered with iron and iron corrosion which was probably originally the pin. Either end of the strap bar there is a small decorative spur. The edges of the frame are bevelled on the exterior edges. The surface of the frame has traces of a mid green patina. The frame is bent forming a sub 'L' shape in profile. The frame is 24.37mm and 19.44mm wide. It weighs 4.7g.The buckle dates to the Post Medieval period. Whitehead (1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Greenlight Publishing) dates this type of buckle to the late 16th to 17th centuries. No. 564 is similar to the recorded example.
