Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy shoe buckle frame of Post-Medieval, eighteenth century date (AD 1700 - AD 1800). Length 36.0mm, width 9.9mm and 3.6mm thick. Weight 4.26g.The fragment is part of one side of the frame. It has decorative mouldings on the front face and is plain and slightly convex on the rear face. Around the outer edge of the frame are five small lobes each with a central circular indentation. The mouldings at the front, commencing from the narrower end, consist of two annulets, three pyramid motifs and one annulet. The complete design on the frame may have consisted of a alternating pattern of three pyramids and three annulets. The pyramidal motifs are probably intended to emulate glass gems. The fragment is in fair condition and has a mid-green patina although there are patches of superficial copper alloy corrosion products, particularly on the rear face. Both breaks are old.
