Description: | A cast copper alloy trapezoidal shoe or knee buckle with drilled frame (length: 24.2mm; width: 16.5mm; thickness: 4.2mm;weight: 3.02g). There are moulded pin rests at opposite ends of the buckle's length as well as moulded, bifid knops around the spindle holes opposite each other across the buckle's width. There is slight evidence of a probable iron spindle. There is no decoration on the underside of the buckle. The condition of the buckle is fair with a general spread of corrosion. The artefact has a light green-brown patina. Similar examples are illustrated in Ross Whitehead's 'Buckles' book, pages 98-9. These have been dated between 1660-1720 AD, but a widened date range should be noted. | 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
