Description: | Silver buckle, curved rectangular frame with scrolls forming a cartouche, pierced to hold a central shank with separate hinged stud chape. This is stamped on the back with what appears to be an illegible maker's mark and possibly a date letter. Probably a knee or shoe buckle, of late 17th Century or early 18th Century type, around 1660-1700. Just possibly after 1709. Compare R.Whitehead, Buckles 1250-1800, nos. 618 and 627 for frame design. As such, due to its age and precious metal content, this object qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. Dr Dora Thornton, Curator of Renaissance Collections British MuseumFrame: Length: 23.7mm; width: 17.4mm. Stud chape: Length: 20.6mm; width: 7.7mm.
