Description: | Cast lead alloy / pewter (?) fragment from a large buckle probably with a drilled frame of late post-medieval date (1690-1770). The buckle frame is broken in two places; both breaks are relatively fresh and modern. The buckle is therefore irregular, but probably originally sub-rectangular. It is D shaped in cross section with faceted edges on the upper face; the reverse is flat and undecorated. On the outer edge of the frame are a series of cast floral sworls and flowers. There is no evidence of a contracted or recessed pin rest. The buckle is a dark grey colour with a polished patina that covers all surfaces, apart from the breaks. Movement in the ploughsoil has resulted in the buckle becoming asymmetrical, and slightly bowed in profile. The buckle fragment measures 47.6mm long, 23.5mm wide, is 3.1mm thick and weighs 9.01 grams.
