Description: | An incomplete two piece rectangular copper-alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date (c.AD1690-1720). This buckle was probably a shoe buckle due to the curve of the frame.The rectangular frame expands on the outer edge at either end, at the centre of each of vertical arm, of the frame to form a decorative semicircular tab. The upper surface of these tabs is decorated with radiating grooves. The length of the buckle frame including these decorative tabs is 44.91mm and the length of the frame excluding the tabs is 33.23mm. The frame has a width of 28.40mm. The spindle bar and pin are missing but the vertical circular perforations through the frame at the mid-point of the upper and lower horizonal arms of the frame are visible. The upper and lower surface of the frame expand over these perforations in order to create sufficient thickness to accomodate the perforations. The upper surface of the frame has moulded decoration. Weight is 10.02g.See Whitehead, R. Buckles 1250-1800. 2003. p.101, no.642-644 for buckles of a similar date and slightly similar style.
