Description: | A cast copper alloy fragment probably from a buckle frame. The buckle would have been an annular or shuttle-shaped shoe buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle dating to the Post Medieval period, circa AD1720-1790. Less than 20% of the buckle frame survives with the spindle, pin and chape all missing. The surviving frame has openwork decoration and moulded scrolls on the front. The reverse is plain with a thickened area that would originally have accommodated the spindle. Length: 30.53mm. Width: 11.34mm. Thickness: 4.53mm. Weight: 5.2gA complete comparable examples are recorded in Whitehead (1996) pp109-110, no 701-2
