Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy buckle dating to the Post-Medieval period, c. 1550-1650. The buckle is sub-oval in plan view and plano-convex in section, with a flat back and rounded upper surface, the inner edge of which demonstrates signs of bevelling. At each end of the pin-bar there is a small projecting knop while on the frame itself the outer edges of each loop are noticeably thickened at their mid-points, demonstrating moulded decoration in the form of prominent lobes that serve to give the frame a 'wavy' appearance in places. A buckle of virtually identical form is published by Ross Whitehead (Whitehead 2003, no. 384), for which a similar date is suggested to this example. Despite missing its pin, the buckle is preserved in good condition, with an even green patina covering most of its surfaces. The buckle measures 39.29mm long, 51.19mm wide, the frame is 3.37mm thick and the pin-bar 3.19mm thick. It weighs 14.65 grammes.
