Description: | An incomplete Post Medieval copper alloy buckle, dating AD 1550-1650. The object is formed of two sub-rectangular loops with an axial bar in the centre. There is a trefoil moulded design in the centre of each of the shortest ends of the buckle, with a pointed projection at either end of the axial bar. The buckle is intentionally bent slightly to give it a V-shape. There is a dark green patina and the decoration is quite worn. The pin is no longer present but orange discolouration suggests it would have been iron.A similar example can be found in Whitehead (1996, no. 394) and dates AD 1550-1650.Dimensions: length: 41.22 mm; width: 27.04 mm; thickness: 4.01 mm; weight: 7.94g.Reference: Whitehead, R. 1993 Buckles, 1250-1800. Witham: Greenlight Publishing.
