Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval sub-oval shoe or knee buckle. The outer edges of the loops are unadorned. By contrast, the incurved sides feature a central bifid knop around the holes drilled to take the separate pin bar. The reverse of the buckle is flat and plain. It is curved in profile, mimicking the curve of the object to which it was attached. There are traces of iron corrosion product on the sides both internally and externally which suggest that the missing pin and chape would have been made of iron. The frame itself retains the majority of its tinning. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 99). | 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: | 1660
