Description: | A corroded cast copper-alloy buckle chape from a two piece buckle dating to c. AD 1660-1720. This artefact is incomplete as the buckle frame is missing, although the buckle chape itself is complete. The buckle chape is sub-triangular in plan and flat in section with an internal sub-triangular spike. At the narrowed triangular end is a cylindrical copper-alloy bar from which extends the triangular in plan tongue. The cylindrical bar has extensive red brown corrosion at the base of the tongue, and also running through the cylinder, indicative of the presence of iron. This artefact has a light green colour overall with similar items visible in Whitehead 2003: 96-7, where the form is described as 'cooking pot' shaped.This buckle measures 24.1mm in length, with a width of 19.6mm and a thickness of 1.6mm. It weighs 1.97 grams.
