Description: | An incomplete post medieval copper alloy gilded buckle missing its pin, with a fragment of fabric preserved on the pin bar. The frame is trapezoidal with trefoil shaped outer edges with a central notch to take the pin. There is a knop at either end of the integral pinbar, which is narrowed and recessed. The fabric fragment is on the upper surface of the pinbar, is dark brown with a tight weave. There are patches of gilding that survive on the trefoil edges and the knops. The frame is curved in profile and the edges of the upper surface are bevelled, the lower surface is flat. The frame measures 24.2mm (length) x 33.8mm (width) x 2.7mm (thickness) and weighs 5.80g.A very similar buckle is dated by Whitehead to c. 1620-1680 AD (1996, 84 ref. 523).
