Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy buckle frame of a subrectangular shoe buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The frame is decorated with moulded leaves above the spindle hole and at the extant end of the frame. Beyond this end of the frame, the edge is extended into a side knop with three annulets in a row between two scrolls. There are also moulded scrolls of pellets between the leaves and annulets at each corner of the frame, and two moulded bands of pellets around the inside edge of frame. Half of the frame and the spindle are missing, as well as the chape that would have been attached to the spindle and secured the buckle to the shoe with its internal spikes.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar example on page 108, No.696, which is dated from c.1720s-1790s.
