Description: | A copper-alloy spindle from a post-medieval buckle. Whitehead dates such buckles to the period AD c. 1660 - 1720 and classifies this spindle as a Type I (1996, p. 96).The spindle is roughly tongue-shaped in plan, narrowing at the centre, before widening slightly towards the terminal. At the attachment end is a cylindrical casing containing the corroded iron axis bar. The now-missing pin would have extended from a central slot. At the terminal is an integral projection comprising a short, circular-sectioned shaft and a circular, domed head.The object is corroded. It measures 37.6mm long, 21.4mm wide and 9.3mm thick. The weight is 7.34g.
