Description: | Post Medieval cast copper-alloy asymmetrical buckle frame with double pronged pin. The frame has one trapezoid and one D shaped loop. The strap bar is narrowed and recessed. There are three broad raised transverse lines across the front of the upper and lower sides, the central raised line is adjacent to the strap bar at either end. These lines are flanked by thinner raised sections which run to the start of the outer edge of each loop, their ends are defined by indented transverse lines. At the centre of the D shaped loop the inner side projects inwards in a curve forming a wider oval area which is decorated with a raised trapezoid running across the width which slopes from thicker sides to a thin central line. The pin has a cylindrical piece around the strap bar from which projects two rectangular sectioned pointed prongs. The strap chape is missing. It is 31.3mm long, 22.5mm wide and 2.2mm thick and weighs 3.72 grams.Whitehead (2003) illustrates an identical seeming buckle (page 91, No.569) which he dates to c.1575-1700 AD.
