Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of post-medieval date (1690-1720). The frame of the buckle is sub-rectangular in plan with two central drilled holes to which an incomplete copper alloy chape is fixed; from the abundant iron corrosion the drilled pin on which the chape fits is formed of iron. In profile the frame is slightly bowed. There is no evidence of a pin rest on the frame. There is also no decoration. The Similar copper alloy examples to this buckle can be seen in Ross Whitehead's book 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', page 103. Whitehead suggests that these buckles date from the post medieval period (1690-1720) and were used as shoe or knee buckles.The buckle frame measures 33.10mm long, 27.80mm wide, is 5.1mm thick and weighs 5.9 grams.
