Description: | A complete Post-Medieval cast copper alloy double loop buckle frame. The frame is sub-rectangular / trapezoid in shape with an oval opening creating the loop. The frame is drilled to take a separate iron spindle, which is still in situ with notable ferrous corrosion, this divides the oval loop into two halves. The front of the buckle is bowed outwards with the frame to the top and bottom of the spindle bowed slightly inwards (concave) and the outer edges of the frame bowed slightly outwards (convex). The reverse of the buckle is hollowed and there are file marks present. The dull grey colour and weight of the brooch suggest the copper has been alloyed with lead. Such buckles are often referred to as shoe or knee buckles.Buckles of this type are dated c.1660-1720.
