Description: | An incomplete small cast copper-alloy sub-rectangular buckle of post-medieval date, probably a shoe buckle: it bowes. The frame is quite elaborate. The shorter edges are formed of two moulded oval lobes; on one edge this pair would have acted as the pin rest. These are flanked by a knop at either end which is in effect the end on the incurving longer edges. The longer edges curve into a moulded lobe either side of the missing pin bar. At this point, the highest given the bowing, there is a spindle hole either side. The buckle appears to have been drilled internally to take an iron spindle as the traces of corrosion product evidence; the pin and chape has been lost. The buckle is bevelled internally and externally on both upper and lower faces, although the removals on the lower face are a lot more shallow. | Subjects: | shoe | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
