Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy trapezoidal shoe or knee buckle of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1660 - c. AD 1720). Length 39.0mm, width 24.2mm and maximum thickness 4.8mm. Weight 10.31g.The spindle, chape and pin are missing.The frame is symmetrical in plan. It is moulded at the front and flat and plain at the rear and has concave sides. When viewed from the side, it has a downward curving profile.The frame is drilled for a separate iron spindle which is lost. However, iron corrosion survives within the each spindle hole. On the front of the frame, at each side where it is drilled, there are three roundels, one at the centre and one on either side. These feature are flanked at each end by a splayed and flatter moulding. At the centre of each outside edge similar pin rests have a lipped moulding at each side.The artefact is generally worn but is in good condition. It has a mid to dark green patina and also has traces of tinning on the front and back.
