Description: | A cast copper alloy sub-annular shoe or knee buckle frame with drilled frame (length: 22.5mm; width: 16.5mm; thickness: 3.5mm; weight: 2.00g). There are two opposing slight bifid knops on each end of the frame with two protruding points at either side. Additionally, there are two slight knops projecting inwards in the centre of the frame. There are also moulded transverse lines and grooves running on the upper side of the buckle only. There is no decoration on the underside. The overall condition of the buckle is fair with some small amounts of corrosion in the grooves particularly. The buckle has a dark green/ brown patina.An identical example is illustrated in Ross Whitehead's 'Buckles' book, page 98, Ref no 606. This example has been dated between c1660-1720 AD, but a more generalised date range should be considered.
