Description: | A cast copper-alloy post-medieval shoe or knee buckle dating from the late 17th to early 18th century. The buckle is a two-piece type with an ornate moulded frame and a separate cast copper-alloy stud chape and pin bar. The separate stud is still attached to the chape. The buckle is in fairly poor condition, suffering from wear and copper corrosion. It has a dark brown patina where it has not been affected by green corrosion product, and some traces of ferrous corrosion are also present at either end of the iron pin bar, as well as on the chape. The frame measures 22.1 mm long, 15.22 mm wide and 3.61 mm thick. The chape measures 29.86 mm long, giving the buckle a total length of 33.33 mm. It weighs 4.5 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
