Description: | Incomplete fragment from a cast copper alloy buckle of post-medieval date (post 1660). The fragment consists of a small area of the outer frame being broadly sub-rectangular in plan and a faceted D shaped in cross section. The breaks are fresh and unpatinated suggesting recent damage. On the fragment there is no evidence of a pin rest or contraction in the thickness of the frame. It is decorated with a single cast line around the outer edge of the upper face. The rear is flat and undecorated. The buckle is a mid green colour with a polished patina which covers all surfaces. From the shape of the fragment it is likely to be from a buckle of early modern (Georgian date) probably post restoration (1660)The buckle measures 13.6mm long, 36.4mm wide, is 2.0mm thick and weighs 2.6 grams.
