Description: | An incomplete copper alloy sub annular buckle, with a drilled frame, of Post Medieval dating (AD 1660 to AD 1720).Only the buckle frame is present. The chape, spindle and pin are missing, presumably lost in antiquity. The buckle frame is sub annular in plan, with a drilled frame, for a separate spindle. The frame exhibits moulded decoration, consisting of eighteen conjoined convex roundels.The buckle frame measures 33.9 mm in length, 23.3 mm wide and 3.2 mm thick. It weighs 5.1 grams.The buckle frame is a dark green to brown colour, with an even surface patina.A similar buckle frame has been recorded as #603 by Whitehead (1996, p 97) and has been dated to the Early Post Medieval period (c. AD 1660 to AD 1720). Whitehead suggests that they were originally used as either shoe or knee buckles.Reference:Whitehead, R. 1996. Buckles 1250 to 1800. Greenlight Publishing. Witham.
