Description: | Cast copper alloy oval knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate iron spindle. The frame has a chamfered outer edge from the base inwards, at the back of the buckle, and an angled and hollowed inner edge. The spindle is made of iron and still holds the remains of the copper alloy tongue and chape, as there are iron corrosion products around the drilled holes and gaps in the chape. The pin is missing, but there is a v-shaped groove on the inside edge of one side of the frame which acted as the pin rest. The surface of the frame has a deep green patina and the upper face may have once been tinned. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle on page 97, No.601, which is dated from c.1660-1720.Read (1988) illustrates another example on page 144, No. 966, which is dated from c.1660-1720s.
