Description: | Post Medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped two-part buckle frame with seperate iron spindle across the centre. The frame is retangular in plan with the outer ends expanded into triangles. There is a raised border divided by multiple regularly spaced indents along the upper and lower sides and the inner side of the triangular ends. In profile it is curved with the centre raised and the centre is thickened and drilled to take the iron spindle. The spindle has a cast copper alloy pin and chape on it. The pin has a cylindrical end which the spindle goes through from which projects a broad rectangular sectioned pin. The chape also has a broad cylindrical base which the spindle goes through. This base is the entire lengh of the spindle with a slot in the centre for the pin. From the base the chape extends into a triangular plate which has an old break at the end. On the front it is stamped with a makers mark, possibly 'SA'. It is 23.6mm long by 16.6mm wide and 3.4mm thick; it weighs 2.72 grams.Whitehead (2003) illustrates a very similar buckle with a complete chape (page 100, No.629) which he dates to c.1660-1720 AD.
