Description: | An almost complete, cast copper alloy asymetrical buckle dating to the Post Medieval. The buckle is broadly rectangular with a rounded outer side that terminates in a trefoil knop. The frame and strap bar is 'D'-shaped in section with a flat back and curving upper face. The pin is missing, however corrosion product around the strap bar suggests it was made of iron. The buckle has a light green patina and is heavily worn and pitted. The buckle has suffered post depositional damage and now the knopped outer side of the frame is bent upwards at c. 70 degrees. It measures 15.6mm in length, 13.6mm in width, 2.5mm in thickness and weighs 1.18g. Whitehead (2003, pg. 92) illustrates similar buckles which he dates to between 1575 and 1700 AD, e.g. no.583.
