Description: | Cast copper alloy rectangular 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 obliquely angled inner edge. The spindle is made of iron and has covered the remains of the copper alloy tongue and chape and part of the frame with iron corrosion products. The pin and most of the chape are now missing. The surface of the frame has a silvery green patina as the upper face has been tinned. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle on page 102, No.660, which is dated from c.1690-1720.Read (1988) illustrates another example on page 144, No. 958, which is dated from c.1660-1720s.
