Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval sub-oval shoe or knee buckle. The frame is bevelled internally and externally. Both outer edges feature a moulded field with oblique grooving. The incurved sides also feature a central moulding, this with five transverse ridges, the central ridge wider than the flanking pairs. The pin bar has been lost, although traces of orange corrosion product around the holes drilled to take the bar suggest that it was made of iron. The reverse of the buckle is flat apart from slight raised areas around the pin bar holes. The frame is curved in profile, mimicking the curve of the object to which it was attached. Such buckles were often tinned, although no traces of such a coating are discernible on this example. An identical buckle frame can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 99; ref. 620).
