Description: | A cast copper alloy chape from a shoe buckle of late seventeenth or early eighteenth century date (c. AD 1690 - c. AD 1720). Length: 24.0mm; width 31.2mm and 3.9mm thick. Weight: 4.48g.The frame is sub-trapezoidal in plan and has concave sides and a very slightly convex outside edge. It has a sub-rectangular slot to take the missing pin. Parts of an iron spindle have survived in each section of the bar. The chape frame has an internal spike.The patina is lost and the surface colour of the metal is dull red.A buckle with a similar chape is illustrated in Whithead 1996, 103, ref. 662. Whitehead suggests a date c. 1690-1720 for this type of chape.
