Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1660 - c. AD 1720). Length 23.4mm, width 17.1mm and 2.3mm thick. Weight 1.92g.
The oval frame is convex on the upper surface and the lower surface is concave. It is 19.8mm in length and has a width of 17.1mm. The centre of each side of the frame is thickened slightly and drilled to accommodate an iron spindle around which the chape and pin revolve. The flat copper alloy chape, 15.4mm in length, is incomplete as the perforated terminal to take an attachment stud is broken and the stud is missing. The flat copper alloy pin is complete and has a length of 8.9mm and a maximum width of 2.0mm. The loop fully encloses the spindle and tapers to a sharp point.
The buckle is corroded and has no patina.
Similar buckles published by Whitehead and identified as shoe or knee buckles, have been dated c. 1660 - c. 1720 (Whitehead 1996, 97, refs. 600-601). | 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
