Description: | A cast copper alloy oval shaped buckle frame of post-medieval date (1660-1720). The frame of the buckle is oval in plan with two central drilled holes to which an incomplete iron spindle / axis bar is fixed. The pin / chape which would have fitted to this bar is also missing. In profile the frame is slightly bowed. There is no evidence for a pin rest on the frame and there is no decoration on the frame either. The buckle is mid grey silver colour. Similar examples to this buckle can be seen in Ross Whitehead's book 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', page 97, specifically examples 600 - 601. Whitehead suggests that these date from the post medieval period (1660-1720) and were used as shoe or knee buckles.The buckle frame measures 23.9mm long, 18.7mm wide, is 3.7mm thick and weighs 2.72 grams.
