Description: | Treasure Number: 2010 T77"Description: Silver shoe buckle. Rectangular, slightly curved. The frame decorated with moulding resembling that in a carved picture frame. Would have had a separate iron spindle which is now missing. On the back, a hallmark with lion passant.The lion passant mark suggests this belt buckle was made in Birmingham, apparently after 1773, which is when that mark came into use there. Therefore this item does not qualify as Treasure.The find dates to later than 1710 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.Dr Dora ThorntonCurator of Renaissance CollectionsDepartment of Prehistory and EuropeThe British Museum"
