Description: | An incomplete post-Medieval cast-copper alloy asymmetrical buckle frame (c. 1660-c. 1720).The frame is 'D'-shaped at one end and rectangular at the opposite end. The sides are drilled for a separate iron spindle, the remains of which survive within the drilled holes. The centre of each side is swollen at the front to accommodate the drilled hole. There is moulded decoration at the front. One outer edge has a central knop flanked by a transverse rib at either side. The opposite outer edge has parallel transverse ribs with a grooved lobe at each corner. The swellings over the drilled holes consist of a central knop with a transverse rib at either side. The rear face is flat and plain.This buckle is corroded and has traces of a olive/khaki green patina.Length: 33.46mm; width: 23.02mm; thickness; 3.31mm. Weight: 4.77g.A similar buckle has bee published and dated c. 1660-1720 AD (Whitehead 1996: 96-97, ref: 596).Similar buckles have been recorded on The Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds: NMS-24D3D8; NMS-7F6CE6; PUBLIC-D0C415; SOM-9D45B5 and WILT-73A792. WILT-73A792 is particularly well preseved.
