Description: | Copper alloy possible buckle fragment. Cast trapezoid buckle frame with concave edges and moulded decoration of rhomboids at its corners with floral bosses between them at the ends and a lobed figure at one end of the strap bar [now lost], and with additional moulded cabled detail. The back of the frame is hollowed. Concave sided buckles are predominantly 17th-century. The style of decoration, however, might be expected of a slightly later buckle with a separate spindle, as might its hollow back, but there is no evidence for a housing of expanded thickness, though the central bar was narrow. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1620-1790.Length: 36.5mm, Height: 30.1mm, Thickness: 1.8mm, Weight: 7.15gms.
