Description: | Post Medieval to Modern (17th to 19th Centuries ) buckle: The frame of the copper alloy buckle is a D-shape in plan, hemi-trapezoidal in section. The width of the strap bar is the same as the loop. The pin is missing, presumably lost in antiquity. The surface of the frame has file marks and mid to dark green/grey patina. It measures 22.91mm in length, 34.96mm wide and 2.63mm thick. It weighs 5.1 grams.The frame is similar in style to that depicted as No. 2993 (Egan, 2007, pp 213). This example is of uncertain dating but probably between AD 1500 to AD 1850. The buckle frame does share a strong likeness with modern strap D-rings for tightening straps, however the patina of the artefact would suggest an early date, probably 17th to 19th Centuries AD.Egan, G. 2007 '2.7 Post-Medieval non-ferrous metalwork and evidence for metal working: AD 1500-50 to 1800-50' in Griffiths, D.
