Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval shoe or knee buckle. The buckle is rectangular in plan with rounded corners. It is bevelled externally on the upper surface and rabetted at the outer edge. The bevelling is echoed internally on the lower surface. There is a elongated 'C'-shaped moulding on the upper surface along the longer sides and extending into the internal side of the outer edge, terminating in a curl. Central expansions on the longer sides have been drilled to take the separate pin bar. This latter survives in situ; being made of iron it is highly corroded. There are further traces of orange-brown corrosion product on the internal sides of the outer edges on both surfaces cause by the (missing) chape. The buckle is curved in profile, mimicking the curve of the object to which it was attached. The frame itself retains some of its tinning; it is otherwise covered in patches of off-white corrosion product. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 102).
