Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy or buckle of post-medieval date (1660-1720). The frame of the would have been buckle oval in plan with two central drilled holes to which an axis bar would have fixed. The pin which would have fitted to this bar is missing. In profile the frame is slightly bowed. Only a fragment of the frame survives and has a high tin content. The buckle is bevelled on the inner face. Similar copper alloy examples to this buckle can be seen in Ross Whitehead's book 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', page 97, specifically examples 600 - 601. Whitehead suggests that these buckles date from the post medieval period (1660-1720) and were used as shoe or knee buckles.The buckle frame measures 21.9mm long, 8.5mm wide, is 5.35mm thick and weighs 2.4 grams
