Description: | An incomplete copper alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date. The buckle is a sub-rectangular shoe or knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The outer edge if each loop is decorated with three fairly crude transverse incisions, the central one of which is straight with the outer two being flared. Three transverse moulded collars are present around each spindle hole and are covered in iron corrosion. A fragment of a chape with a broken pin remains though has become separated from the buckle proper. The chape is also covered in iron corrosion and the faint initials "GG" are visible on one side.The metal has a dark green patina and survives in good condition. The buckle is 24.9mm long, 16.4mm wide, 3.9mm thick and weighs 2.5g.Similar, though less decorated examples are illustrated in Whitehead, p.103 and are dated to circa ad 1690 - 1720.
