Description: | A cast copper alloy drilled sub rectangular shoe buckle frame (length: 34.8mm; width: 26.9mm; thickness: 5mm; weight: 6.00g). There are four slightly curved (inwards) moulded collars on each side, particularly those at either end of the frame's length which have an elaborate leaf pattern to form the pin rests. There is no decoration on the underside. The frame is slightly curved rising upwards. Overall, the buckle is in a fair condition with increased amounts of corrosion on either side of the leaf-patterned pin rests and a dark green patina. Similar examples are illustrated in Ross Whitehead's 'Buckles' book, page 98. This are dated between 1660-1720 AD, but a more widened dateline should be introduced. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1650
