Description: | A complete copper-alloy buckle dating to the period AD 1660 to 1720.The buckle is rectangular in plan with the short sides being rounded. In the middle of each side there is decoration which consists of three radiating lines on each of the short sides and three moulded pellets on each of the long sides. The central pin creates a figure of eight shape but this pin is not integral to the buckle. Part of the chape is still present although the circular stud terminal has broken off. The tongue of the buckle is also missing.Buckles of this sort would have been used for either shoes or knee breeches and due to their small size it is often difficult to distinguish between the two types. This buckles falls into Marshall's (1986) type V buckle category.
