Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy knee buckle or stock buckle, ovate in plan and plano-convex in section and profile. The spindle and chape are missing but the remaining spindle holes show that the spindle was held parallel to the length of the buckle. There is a large lump of iron corrosion product attached to one spindle hole, which is likely to be the remains of the steel spindle and chape. The buckle is curved upwards, in profile, at the spindle ends. This unusual profile might be because the buckle had to follow the curvature of the neck if it was used as a stock buckle.The frame has been moulded to form a pattern of pinched ridges and pressed recesses, to perhaps look cut like its more ornate counterparts with set paste stones.Whitehead (1996) illustrates similar examples of knee buckles and stock buckles on page 112, Nos.718-719, which are dated to c.1720s-1790s.
