On either side of the pin bar there is a quatrefoil, incised with a cross, and defined by four areas of openwork, and again surrounded by three lozenges on all sides. The pin is now missing.This large ornate buckle may have been used for a baldric, and worn by someone of status, and may date to the Civil War period.Read (1988) illustrates similar examples on page 111, Nos.691 & 692, which are dated from the 16th century to the early 17th century.Whitehead (1996) illustrates similar examples on pages 68-9, Nos. 421 & 430, which are dated to c.1550-1650.
