Description: | Copper alloy two piece buckle of Post Medieval date. The object consists of the frame only, the separate spindle and pin are both now missing. The frame is broadly rectangular in plan with rounded sides and a raised moulded crescent on the top and bottom edge, extending out from the frame resulting in two projecting points and giving a narrowed middle. The frame is concave and has been drilled in the centre to accommodate the separate spindle. Corrosion around the holes suggest the spindle was made of iron. Three raised, moulded lines flank the spindle hole on the upper surface. Parallel, lateral incisions decorate the left and right edges of the frame, with a larger gap in the centre where the pin would have rested.The frame measures 22.4mm in width, 17.8mm in length and 3.8mm in thickness; it weighs 2.12g.Whitehead (2003; 'Buckles 1250-1800', pg. 98) illustrates a similar, more complete example, no/ 615, which is dated between 1660 and 1720 AD.
