Description: | Cast copper-alloy double-looped oval buckle frame with folded and stamped sheet copper-alloy plate. The frame is flat and oval, with a simple central offset bar. The frame is rounded in cross-section with the underside of the frame flat and both edges angled. The pin is missing but the plate is still attached but missing its upstanding stud at the end. Several grooved lines remain on one outside edge of the frame to show where the pin would have rested, but there is no notch. The outer edge has been damaged and worn away, particularly the edge on either side of the pin rest. The buckle frame is generally in poor condition with corrosion on all surfaces and a bent plate hinge. The plate has been stamped with the letters K D, perhaps in more recent times.The buckle frame is 20 mm long, 17 mm wide and 2 mm thick. The Plate is 19 mm long, 8 mm wide and 1 mm thick. The pin bar is 10 mm long and 1.5 mm wide.Similar buckle frames are illustrated by Whitehead (1996, page 49, No.283, dated to c.1650-1720) and Read (1988, page 142, No.916, dated to c.1650-1700). They may have been shoe or knee buckles.
