Description: | A copper-alloy buckle, dating from the post-Medieval period.The frame is sub-rectangular and has moulded decoration on its upper surface. The two horizontal sides have identical mouldings, in each case consisting of a central pellet flanked by a pair of outward-pointing crescents. Iron corrosion from the otherwise missing central axis bar can be seen around two opposing holes in the frame. Each vertical side comprises a downward-sloping pin rest with a squared-off distal end and an incised groove at the top. The underside of the frame is flat, with a bevelled inner edge. A white metal coating can be seen on the surfaces of the buckle.Length: 21.6mm; width: 15mm; thickness: 3.5mm; weight: 2.84g.Ross Whitehead suggests that buckles with separately added axis bars date from the late 17th to early 18th centuries (1996: 100).
