Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of post-Medieval date (c. 1500- c.1650). The pin is missing. The frame is sub-rectangular in plan and has a convex outside edge and concave sides. At the front it is convex and at the rear it is mainly concave with flat edges. However, the bar is flat. At the centre of the outside edge there is a projecting lobed knop which is rounded at the top and concave on its underside. The knop lacks a groove for a pin-rest. The bar is slightly narrowed and is sub-rectangular in cross-section (almost square). The front has a shiny mid-green patina and the rear face is partially covered with buff loose copper alloy corrosion products. There is iron staining around the centre of the bar which probably indicates that the pin was made of iron. A similar buckle in shape and size has been published in Whitehead 1996, 'Buckles 1250-1800', 28, ref. 145. Whitehead suggests that these buckles are dated c.1500-1650.27.0 x 24.8 x 2.6mm. Weight: 4.51g.
