Description: | An incomplete post-Medieval cast lead alloy (pewter?) buckle (c.1660-c. 1720).The pin is missing.Thee frame is sub-rectangular in plan with rounded corners, moulded at the front and flat at the rear. It is slightly curved in side profile.At the centre, the sides have drilled hole to accommodate a separate iron spindle which survives within the holes. On the front, each outer edge is swollen and plain. At each side, either side of the drilled hole, there is a small ridge and these are flanked by scrolls. The buckle is a mid-silver grey colour.Length: 31.55mm; width: 20.95mm; thickness: 4.49mm. Weight: 6.38g.Similar buckles have been published by Whitehead (1996: 99) and dated c. 1660-1720 AD. Whitehead suggests that these were used as shoe or knee buckles.
