Description: | A cast, copper alloy, post-medieval shoe or knee buckle, dating from 1660-1720AD. The buckle frame is sub-rectangular. One end is straight, with angled corners and has a small lip on both inner and outer edges; the remainder of the buckle is bevelled and the other end is rounded. The frame is drilled to take a separate, ferrous spindle, which remains in place. There is a ferrous pin chape, with an oval terminal. The chape carries a small cartouche containing the maker's initials I S. The buckle has a smooth, dark green patina. It is 34.8mm long, 22.8mm wide and 5.5mm thick. It weighs 9.2gm. For reference, see Whitehead, Buckles 1250-1800, pages 99-100.
