Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Post Medieval sub-rectangular shoe or knee buckle, c. 1660-c. 1720 AD. The remains of the buckle consist of a drilled frame, which would have held a separate spindle. The frame is decorated on the outer face with moulded decoration including moulded transverse lines and a knop at either end of the spindle bar; a sub-triangular knop projects on the interior side of the outer frame edges. The entire buckle is curved slightly convex to fit more comfortably against the body. The underside is undecorated. Iron corrosion is visible at either spindle hole, suggesting that the spindle itself was made of iron. The frame measures 29.43 mm long, 22.95 mm maximum width at outer projecting edges, 19.06 mm wide at spindle area, 3.67 mm thick and weighs 6.19 grams. Cf. Whitehead 2003, p100.
