Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Georgian shoe buckle dating from 1720-1790s. The fragment of buckle is sub-rectangular with cast decoration and has been silvered or tinned. The decoration is openwork and there appears to be a snake-like creature forming the bottom part of the frame; vertically through this, there is a small circular perforation, presumably for the central bar. The fragment weighs 5.87g and measures 52mm in length and approximately 24mm in width. A similar parallel can be found in Chris Marshall??s ??Buckles through the ages?? part 10, No.25 and in Ross Whitehead??s ??Buckles 1250-1800?? p.106, No.678. | Subjects: | Shoe | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
