Description: | Cast copper-alloy double-looped shoe or spur buckle frame. It is sub-oval in shape and flat, with a simple, narrowed, central, offset bar. The frame has rounded ends and concave, bifid sides; it has a flat base and a convex profile in cross-section. On similar examples of this buckle type, the bar often has a folded sheet copper-alloy plate with attachment stud to fix the buckle to a shoe, but on this example there is no plate. On either end of the bar, there is a defined triangular area, defined by two incised lines at oblique angles to each other, but the frame is too corroded to make out any more decoration. The buckle is 33 mm long and 22 mm wide, and 2.4 mm in thickness; the bar is 9.8 mm long and 2.2 mm in thickness. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle on page 71, with Plate No. 442, which is dated to c.1600-1720.Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 143, No.920, which is dated to c.1600-1650.
