Description: | Cast copper alloy two part buckle of post medieval date 1660-1720 AD. The buckle frame is sub-rectangular with rounded corners in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section. The frame is drilled at the mid point to take an iron spindle (not surviving). There is no evidence for a recessed pin rest. The long edges are undecorated and the brooch is twisted due to movement in the ploughsoil. Where abrasion has removed this surface a brownish green coloured laminating metal is revealed. For a close parallel see whitehead page 99 who illustrates many of these, he suggests that they were used at both the knee and for the shoe. They date from the period 1660-1720 ADThe buckle frame measures 32.8mm length, 22.5mm width and is 3.7mm thick. It weighs 2.47 grams
