Description: | A slightly incomplete cast copper alloy buckle with tinned frame, dating to the 17th/ 18th century AD between c. 1650 ? c. 1750 (length: 43mm; width: 21mm; thickness: 9mm; weight: 11.36g). A concave and trapezoidal shoe or knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. This example is highly decorated with concave notched ends; each end with two sub-oval openwork apertures. There are three moulded knops/ ridges either side of the centre of the buckle where the probable iron spindle would have originally been (now missing), due to the iron corrosion on the inside of the buckle frame, as well as on the cast copper alloy stud chape, which was found with the buckle frame but is not still attached. Overall, the buckle is in a slightly worn but fair condition with most of the tinning still present on the buckle frame. A similar example is illustrated in Whithead, R, 1996, ?Buckles 1250 ? 1800?, page 98, ref no 613. | 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
