Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date, circa AD 1720-1790.The fragment is slightly convex in profile and the fragment is 'L' shaped in plan. Only part of the buckle frame remains and the separate drilled spindle and pin are missing. The buckle when complete is a rectangular shoe buckle with a drilled frame that would have held the separate spindle. The frame is decorated with a notched band around the outer and inner edges. Within this beading are four parallel linear ribs that transverse the inner part of the frame. The integrally drilled hole is visible at the outer edge of the frame. The reverse is undecorated. The buckle has a mid-grey coloured patina on both faces.Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead (1996: pages 105-108). These types of rectangular shoe buckle with drilled frame for a separate spindle are dated toAD 1720-1790. There are similar buckles that have been recorded on the database; IOW-E77761 was recorded on the Isle of Wight and SWYOR-D8EB25 from North Yorkshire.The buckle is 47.97mm long, 22.18mm wide, 2.53mm thick and weighs 8.3g.Whitehead, R., (2003)Buckles 1250-1800.Chelmsford, Greenlight Publishing.
