Description: | A cast copper alloy (or possibly pewter) double looped buckle shoe or knee buckle with drilled frames for a separate spindle.
The frame has expanded angle ends, each with moulded linear groove decoration. The inner angles of the frame (on the short edges) are also decoratively moulded. At either end of the strap bar, on the frame there are four incised parallel lines.
The iron strap bar remains intact, attached to it is the copper alloy pin and a type V cooking pot shaped loop chape.
The buckle is complete.
The metal is a dark greyish-green colour.
These buckles date from circa 1660-1720. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p100. | 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
