Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy and iron buckle of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1660 - c. AD 1720). Length 38.6mm, width 21.1mm and 4.7mm thick. Weight 5.89g.In plan, the buckle frame is rectangular with rounded corners. It has a complete pin and an incomplete chape. Each outside edge of the frame has a moulded escallop shell motif. On the upper face of the frame, above each of the spindle holes, there is a moulded 'pellet' flanked on either side by a moulded transverse 'rib'. The chape and the pin are made of copper alloy. The pin is sub-triangular in plan and is sub-oval in cross-section. The chape is sub-triangular in plan and at the terminal end there is an incomplete circular perforation that accommodated the missing stud. The spindle is composed of iron. The copper alloy parts are in good condition and have a mid-green patina. The iron spindle is corroded and in poor condition. Similar buckles published by Whitehead have been dated by Whitehead, c. 1660 - c. 1720 (Whitehead 1996, 98-99).
