Description: | Copper alloy and IronBuckle. Cast sub-rectangular frame with bevelled inner edges behind, retaining a separate chape with a broken end and a pin on the steel spindle. The chape bears the stamped legend G / SWIFT. The object is curved in profile, probably suggesting a function as a shoe buckle. Whitehead (1996, page 97, nos 600-601) suggests a date of 1660-1720 for the first such buckles, but a slightly more rectangular form and the crisp style of script argues this object to be later. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1800.Length: 24.2mm, Height: 22.4mm, Thickness (at spindle housing): 3.9mm, Weight: 6.24gms.
