Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy and tinned sub-rectangular shoe buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle, dating to the Post Medieval period, between AD 1650 ?? 1750 (length: 37.5mm; width: 23.5mm; thickness: 4.5mm; weight: 7.5g). The buckle is sub-rectangular in plan and mostly D-shaped in section with tinning completely covering the surface on the front and back of the artefact. On the front of the buckle, the outside edge is decorated with a lip along the edge as well as two raised ridges across the artefact??s width. The inner of the two ridges to either side has irregularly placed small incised markings, with six markings on one ridge and eleven markings on the opposing ridge. These numerous markings may have also been used as pin rests. The sides of the buckle frame to either side of the spindle are concave in design, with a central knob at each spindle hole. The iron spindle, although incomplete, is still present, with the remains of a possible iron pin protruding outwards to one side. The back of the buckle, although undecorated, is also completely tinned. Overall, the artefact is in a worn but fair condition with small breaks along the outside edge. Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead, R, 1996, ??Buckles 1250 ?? 1800??, pages 98 ?? 101. | Subjects: | shoe | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johnson, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
