Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle dating from the 18th century, probably 1720 - 1790 AD. It has a rectangular frame with a separate spindle running lengthways. The frame is decorated with a black layer, possibly of paint. The pin and chape survive. The pin has two spikes, and the chape is rectangular with notches in the sides, making at a squared anchor shape. There are possible traces of gilding on the chape. Similar buckles are described in Whitehead's Buckles as hat buckles.
