Description: | A fragment from a cast copper-alloy post-medieval buckle, probably a shoe buckle: it bowes. The frame would have been rectangular with rounded corners; less than half of the buckle remains. The pin, now missing, would have been joined to the frame at two centrally drilled holes along its width; half of one of the holes is present on the fragment. The frame is raised around the spindle hole. The buckle is moulded on its upper surface, with a slightly rebated border. In each internal corner is an arc that terminates in a circle within which a punched ring-and-dot motif. The circles protrude into the interior of the buckle: only three now survive. A similar treatment can be seen on a buckle illustrated in Cuddeford (1996, 30; ref. 21). The lower surface of the buckle is slightly bevelled internally. Such buckles tend to be dated to the late 17th or early 18th century (c. 1690 - c. 1720 AD). The frame is now a largely dull grey-green colour.
