Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy asymmetrical shoe or knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle, dating to the Post Medieval period, between AD 1650 - 1750(length: 38.5mm; width: 26mm; thickness at chape: 8mm; weight: 8.7g).The buckle is A-shaped in plan and D-shaped in section. One half of the buckles outside edge is rounded, while the other has a straight outside edge with a single incised line down the centre. The iron spindle in the centre of the buckle frame is complete with a substantial amount of iron corrosion present to either end of the spindle along the outside of the buckle frame and on the chape. The complete cast copper alloy chape, which is sub-triangular in plan and flat in section, is still attached to the iron spindle. The chape terminates in a plain fleur de lys. The pin is completely missing. Overall, the artefact is in a slightly worn but fair condition with a dark green patina.Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead, R, 1996, 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', page 97, ref nos 596-9.
