Description: | 1720-1790. Copper alloy, cast, complete, rectangular, probable garter buckle with drilled frame for separate spindle. Length 18.3mm, Width 17.8mm, Thickness 3mm, Weight 2.4g. Double spiked tongue, centre piece. Both frame and tongue once tinned. Attractive dark brown patina with a few rusty brown deposits probably from the water logged soil conditions. This buckle was probably used for fastening garters on close fitting boots which were strapped and buckled below the knee in order to prevent them falling down. Ref. Buckles 1250-1800, Ross Whitehead, Greenlight Publishing 1996, page 114 No. 733 & 734.
