Description: | A Post Medieval (18th century) silver buckle: The silver frame is oval in plan and strongly arched. The frame is composed of an outer frame and narrower smaller frame which are joined at the corners and in the centre of the long edges by six roses, and thereby creating areas of openwork. The outer longer edges are moulded with leaves, whereas the interior ling edges is slightly ribbed. The interior frame short edges have the moulded leaf design whereas the exterior frame narrowest edges are also slightly ribbed. The frame is drilled for a separate spindle which no longer survives, only the frame survives. On the reverse the frame is stamped on the reverse with a lion passant (indicating sterling silver) and a maker's mark which may read 'HS' seriffed, in a rounded rectangle cartouche, but it may also possibly read HB (also conjoined).The buckle is 37.82mm long, 35.65mm wide and 4.28mm thick where the frame swells to accommodate the separate spindle. It weighs 7.93g.A similar buckle is illustrated in Whitehead (1996) No. 686 and is dated to c. 1720 to 1790.Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Colchester: Greenlight Publishing
