Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy trapezoidal two-piece shoe or knee buckle with drilled frame for separate spindle. The frame is trapezoidal in plan and flat in section but with bevelled edges. The frame has concave notched ends, each with two circular openwork apertures, and bifid concave sides with two square knops on each side, one on either side of the spindle hole. The spindle and the chape are missing, but the ends of the spindle still remain in the drilled holes within the frame. The frame is corroded and worn so that it is hard to tell if it was once tinned.The frame is 33 mm long, 20 mm wide and 4 mm in thickness, and the spindle gap is 11 mm long, while the spindle would have originally been 16.4 mm in length.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar example on page 98, No.613, which is dated to c.1660-1720.
