Description: | Cast copper-alloy double-looped shoe buckle frame. It is sub-oval in shape and flat, with a simple, narrowed, central, recessed bar. The frame has rounded ends and trefoil sides and has a flat base and a convex profile in cross-section. The strap bar has an incised line either side of the bar terminus on both sides of the frame. These lines make the frame appear raised between the lines, but this section is flush with the rest of the frame. On similar examples of this buckle type, the bar often has a folded sheet copper-alloy plate with attachment stud to fix the buckle to a shoe, but on this example there is no plate. The buckle is 39.2 mm long and 28.4 mm wide, and 2.3 mm in thickness; the bar within the frame is 14 mm long and 2 mm wide.
Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 143, No.919, which is dated to c.1600-1650.
Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar example on page 70, No.440, which is dated to c.1600-1720. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
