Description: | An incomplete copper alloy sub rectangular buckle, of Post medieval dating (c. AD 1690 to c. AD 1720).Only the buckle frame is present. The pin, chape and spindle are missing, presumed lost in antiquity.The buckle is a sub rectangular shoe or knee buckle, with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The frame has pointed ends with a serrated outer edge. Moulded grooves are present on the sides and end of the frame.The buckle measures 37.7 mm in length, 26.1 mm wide and 3.4 mm thick. It weighs 7.7 grams.The buckle is a dark green to brown colour, with an even surface 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 644 by Whitehead (2003, p 101), and has been dated to c. AD 1690 to c. AD 1720.Reference:Whitehead, R. 2003. Buckles 1250 - 1800. Greenlight Publishing, Witham.
