Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy trapezoidal shoe or knee buckle of post-Medieval date (c. 1660-c. 1720). The spindle (bar) and pin are missing. The frame is symmetrical in plan. It is moulded at the front and flat and plain at the rear and has concave sides. The frame is drilled for a separate iron spindle which is lost. However, iron corrosion survives within the each spindle hole. On the front of the frame, at each side where it is drilled, there are three parallel knops. At the front, each outside has a pin rest. There are numerous file marks on the rear face. The artefact is generally in good condition. It has a shiny mid-green patina and also has traces of a white metal coating. 34.1 x 24.7 x 4.8mm. Weight: 7.68g.Similar buckles have been dated c. 1660 - c. 1720 (Whitehead 1996, 99).
