Description: | An incommplete post-medieval copper-alloy buckle dating to the 17th century.The buckle is rectangular in plan with moulded decoration on the front. At either end of the bar for the pin there are shells with a pellet and concentric lines. In the middle of the short sides there is moulded decoration in the form of five pellets in a line with a larger pellet at either end. Below the line of pellets are two raised lines separated by a row of four smaller pellets. Two raised lines run along either side of this decoration and run towards the inner edge of the buckle before looping back to form a heart shape. In each of the loops is another pellets and above them is a single square. Between the decoration in the middle of the long and short sides is cross-hatching.The back is plain with no decoration although there is a faint trace of silver gilding.The bar for the pin is made of iron and runs through the copper-alloy frame. On the back the copper-alloy has worn through. The bar has an iron projection which looks to be a pin but along the bar there is the remains of two copper-alloy pins which have broke historically.
