Description: | An incomplete copper alloy buckle frame and pin, of Early Post Medieval dating (AD 1620 to AD 1680).Around 95% of the buckle frame is present. The pin is complete. The buckle plate is missing.The buckle consists of a double looped rectangular frame. Pointed ends with ovoid knops are present at the corners. A notch as a pin rest is present on both outer edges of the frame. Pointed knops are present at either end of the strap bar. The pin has been made from a triangular sheet of copper alloy metal. The wide end has been folded around the strap bar. It tapers to a blunt point. A groove is present at the base.The buckle measures 33.3 mm in length, 26.9 mm wide and 6.5 mm thick. It weighs 5.4 g.The buckle frame is a dark brown colour, with an even patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.A similar buckle frame has been published as no. 524 by Whitehead (1996) on page 84 and is considered to be Early Post Medieval in dating (AD 1620 to AD 1680s).Reference:Whitehead, R. 1996.
