Description: | A cast, copper alloy shoe buckle, dating from AD1720-1790. The frame is rectangular, curved, and drilled to take a separate, ferrous spindle. It is decorated with a double groove following the edges of the frame and, on the inner edge, a row of very small, vertical grooves. The spindle and pin are both missing. In one corner of the frame is a ferrous concretion, suggesting that it has been in close proximity to an iron object whilst in the soil. It is 38.6mm long, 30.7mm wide and 12.8mm thick. It weighs 9.36gm. For reference see Whitehead, 2003, Buckles 1250-1800, Greenlight Publishing, page 105, number 673.
