Description: | A post medieval, incomplete cast copper alloy single loop sub-rectangular buckle with extended, splayed feet which have lobed knops on the end. It has a narrowed, recessed, circular sectioned strap bar. The sides of the frame are D shaped in section with a flat inner side and are expanded and thickened at the ends of the strap bar and slightly where they meet the outer edge. The outer edge is beveled top and bottom with multiple regularly spaced incised diagonal grooves on the front. The buckle has a dark red-brown patina, and a patch of iron corrosion on the strap bar is likely to be the remains of an iron pin. There are also traces of silvering. The incomplete buckle measures 38.03mm long and 30.96mm wide. It weighs 7.9 grams and is 4.29 mm thick. Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar example without the decorated outer edge, p.28, no. 151, which he dates to c.1500-1650 AD.
