Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of post-Medieval date (c. 1660-c. 1720). The buckle is sub-oval in plan and has drilled holes at the centre on either side to accommodate an iron spindle. The spindle is missing. However, remains of it can be seen within the drilled holes. At the front, moulded decoration is in the form of eighteen contiguous knoblets.

Alternatively, the surfaces may have been tinned.
