Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date, circa AD1720-1790.The fragment would have been sub-rectangular when complete with rounded corners. Only one short side of the frame now remains. The separate spindle and pin are also missing. The form is Artois style with two rectangular openwork slots punched in the frame. The buckle fragment has a dark-green to brown coloured patina on both faces. The fragment has been bent and distorted presumably in the plough soil. Whitehead (1996) illustrates similar buckles on page 107, most notably No.685. These examples are dated to AD 1720-1790.
