Description: | A copper alloy buckle dating from the Post Medieval period. The frame is D shaped but is unusual in being thicker than it is wide, as if the outer edge is made of a strip of metal in its side. The bar is a separate piece which has been riveted through the sides of the frame. the pin is cut from sheet and is wrapped round the bar. The plate is rectangular and is folded round the bar with a slot for the pin. A single copper alloy rivet at the attachment end holes the sheets together. There is no decoration. This unusual construction gives the buckle a homemade appearance. The plate has broken and been repaired since recovery.The whole has a dark green patina. Some buckles of this construction have been recorded with a Roman date, such as SF-82A153, so this is another dating possibility.
