Description: | A copper alloy sub-rectangular buckle of Post-Medieval date, circaAD 1720-1790.The buckle frame is rectangular in plan with rounded corners. The separate drilled spindle, chape and pin are missing. The front face is convex and decorated with a continuous pattern around the frame of incised squares and a row of pellets in between. The reverse is undecorated. There is iron corrosion around the area where the spindle would have attached and on the reverse suggesting the spindle was made of iron. The buckle has a mid-green coloured patina on both faces. Abrasion in the plough soil has resulted in the loss of much of the decoration.Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead (1996: p.104). 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; (DEV-1194E7) was discovered in Dorset and (LVPL-7098A3) from Cheshire.The buckle is 44.07mm long, 32.7mm wide, 2.12mm thick and weighs 8g.Whitehead, R., (2003)Buckles 1250-1800.Chelmsford, Greenlight Publishing.
