Description: | A cast silver Post Medieval oval shoe or knee buckle with integrally cast spindle, silver stud chape and thick sheet silver pin. The chape or plate is a piece of silver sheet folded round the bar to form a hinged plate. At the far end is a stud acting as a rivet to hole the two ends of the sheet together. The chape stud is decorated with a moulded devolved simple floral design and is not integral. The plate has been stamped on the front with a maker's mark of "GW" in a recessed field shaped with a bi-convex top and a tri-lobed base. On the back of the chape is inscribed "AS", presumably the owner's initials. The A has a downward pointing chevron for the bar, and serifs. The S is larger than the A and also has serifs. There is a slot for the pin, which is triangular and cut from thick sheet. The loop is formed by bending the end round the bar. Two grooves are incised across the base of the pin to form a decorative collar.
