Description: | Cast copper alloy annular garter buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The frame is oval in plan with a bevelled internal edge. At either end of the spindle there is iron corrosion product, suggesting that the spindle within the tube is made of steel. The cast copper alloy tube around the spindle has two fixed spiked 'tongues' on it, to fasten the garter onto a boot.
Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar example on page 114, No.737, which is dated to c.1720-1790s. | 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: | 1720
