Description: | An incomplete cast 'pewter' trapezoidal shoe or knee buckle of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1660 - c. AD 1720). Length: 33.3mm; width: 21.8mm and maximum thickness: 4.5mm. Weight: 8.44g.The spindle (bar), chape and pin are missing.The frame is symmetrical in plan. It is moulded at the front and flat and plain at the rear. The frame is drilled for a separate iron spindle which is lost. However, iron corrosion survives within the each spindle hole. On the front of the frame, at each side where it is drilled, there is a small swelling, one at either side of the drilled hole for the spindle. These features are flanked at each end by a 'scroll' moulding. At the centre of each outside edge similar pin rests are formed by grooves.The artefact is generally worn but is in good condition. It has a shiny silvery appearance overall.Similar buckles have been dated c. 1660 - c. 1720 (Whitehead 1996, 98-99).
