Description: | Complete Post Medieval cast copper alloy buckle chape, AD 1660-1720. The chape belongs to Whitehead's (2003, 96) class III of anchor types. It would have been part of a shoe or knee buckle with a drilled frame so that it cold be hinged on a separate spindle. The chape has been cast in a shape similar to an anchor, with a curving lower edge that extends round into two curving prongs. At the centre of the curving lower edge a small triangular wedge has been cut out, separating the two prongs. The main body of the chape is waisted from the two prongs, but widens at the upper outside edge which is notched to accommodate the tongue and the spindle. The chape has a dark olive-green patina and is undecorated. It measures 18.9mm long, 12.5mm wide and 3.1mm thick. It weighs 1.72 grams. Whitehead (2003) illustrates a buckle with a similar chape, p. 99 ref. 621.
