Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle, dating to the 17th/ 18th century AD, between c. 1650 ? c. 1750 (length: 33.5mm; width: 20mm; thickness: 6mm; weight: 6.9g). A concave and trapezoidal shoe or knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. This example is decorated with concave notched ends; each end with two circular openwork apertures at the corners. There are three moulded ridges/ knops either side of where the spindle (probably made of iron) is still intact. An incomplete cast copper alloy chape is still looped round the spindle. The back of the artefact is flat and undecorated and overall, the buckle is in a worn but fair condition with a dark green patina. A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead, 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
