Description: | Description: A silverpost medieval buckle missing only its iron pin, a fragment of corroded iron survives in the pin slot. The frame is oval in shape with a central bar and there is an attached folded sheet plate, which is rectangular in shape and tapers to a rounded terminal at its attachment end. The inner edge of the front face of the frame is decorated with a border of circular dots. The plate has one rivet with a decorative boss for attachment, which is in the form of a rose. There is a maker's mark stamped onto the centre of the back face of the plate which reads RG. Dimensions: 29.79mmin length, 18.07mm in width, 5.58g in weight. Discussion: This buckle is very similar to an example from Essex (Treasure Annual Report 2005/6, 138, no 604, 2005 T528), dated to the 17th century by its form and maker's mark. The maker's mark on this example can be dated to 1705, as it resembles an example in Jackson (1921, p690).
