Description: | A cast copper alloy single looped asymmetrical shoe or knee buckle frame. The buckle has a drilled frame for a separate spindle (the spindle is missing). The D-shaped loop has a narrowed and offset strap bar.
There are moulded knops at either end of the strap bar. The frame of the buckle has been decorated with three moulded knops over each spindle hole and incised decoration. The frame has a rounded front, with an inward pointing lip.
There is no pin recess on the loop.
The reverse is undecorated. The buckle frame is complete. The buckle is a dark greenish-red colour and the surface is quite pitted.
These buckles date from circa 1660 - 1720.
Similar buckles can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p97. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
