Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy post-medieval buckle, probably a shoe buckle: it bowes. The frame is rectangular with rounded corners (29.35 x 22.25mm). The buckle has a single pin, with a corroded heart-shaped chape with a single upstanding stud, attached to the frame at two centrally drilled holes along its width. The frame is raised around these spindle holes and possesses inwardly lobed knops on its outer edges; on one edge it acts as a rest to the triangular pin. The object is similar to an example illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 103; fig. 663) which is dated to the period c. 1690 - c. 1720, although an earlier date cannot be ruled out. The buckle features accretions of iron corrosion on the frame and chape from the corroded spindle. The frame is now a largely dull dark grey colour.
