Description: | Copper alloy, possibly tinnedBuckle frame, as identified by finder. Cast double looped or spectacle buckle with possibly chip carved elaboration of decorative detail around its external edge. A silvery sheen may indicate that the buckle was tinned, if this does not simply arise from the use of a tin-rich alloy. A series of four countersunk holes of 3.6mm diameter have been drilled into the ends of the frame and the strap bar, suggesting the reuse of the buckle frame, perhaps as a decorative mount. The buckle is slightly bent outwards, centred on the central pin bar, though there is no indication whether this arises from its primary or secondary use. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1550-1650, with subsequent adaptation.Length: 42.3mm, Height: 26.8mm, Thickness: 2.1mm, Weight: 5.67gms.
