Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy spur buckle (17th century). This is an oval buckle with a cross bar attached to which is the narrow plate with integral stud for attachment. The buckle frame has decorative reel mouldings at the junction with the cross bar. The pin is missing but there is a lump of iron corrosion at the cross bar within the pin slot on the plate which suggests the pin may have originally been iron. The buckle plate is attached the cross bar of the frame and then tapers to form a rounded point with a waisted section in the middle. On the reverse of the plate just below where it wraps around the cross bar there is a maker's mark - the initials 'IW'. At the end of the buckle plate is the integral stud for attachment and this has a heart-shaped head. Dimensions: length: 44.45mm; width: 24.76mm; thickness: 3.30mm; weight: 11.97g
