BUCKLE

Unique ID: NMS-2AD7B2

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Post-medieval tin-coated copper alloy buckle frame with the remains of an iron plate and/or pin on the deeply recessed central bar. The form of the frame is abnormal. Apart from a large rounded projection from the straight edge it might be described as either shield-shaped with that edge downwards or resembling the upper part of a lancet window when viewed the other way around. A small notch in the centre of the straight edge indicates it was the outside edge. Length 44mm. Width 23.5mm. No parallel noted, but such recessed bars can be found on harness buckles. This example, however, is perhaps too delicate to be horse gear. Probably 18th century.
