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 concave sides and has a flat base and a convex profile in cross-section. The frame is raised slightly at the junctions of the central bar. 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 27.8 mm long and 18.9 mm wide, and 2.6 mm in thickness; the bar within the frame is 11 mm long and 1.5 mm wide. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle with plate number 447, which he dates to c. 1600-1720. Read (1995) illustrates another example with No. 921, which he dates to 1600-1650.
