Description: | Post Medieval (late 16th to 17th centuries) buckle: The copper alloy buckle frame is asymmetrical in plan, with one trapezoidal shaped loop and the other D-shaped. Both loops have a notch. The strap bar is sub- trapezoidal in section. The pin is missing. The edges of the frame are bevelled on the exterior edges. The surface of the frame has a green patina with a white metal alloy. The frame measures 21.15mm and 15.96mm wide. It weighs 1.86g.The buckle dates to the Post Medieval period. Whitehead (1996) dates this type of buckle to the late 16th to 17th centuries and illustrates No. 564 as an example. Egan (2005) dates two similar, but slightly more ornate, buckles (Nos. 100 and 101) to c. 1630 and c.1650.Egan, G., 2005.
