Description: | A complete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy buckle chape (c. 1690-c. 1720).The frame is rectangular in cross-section. It has a curving outer edge with concave sides and a single tapering spike on the inner side of the outer edge. The base of the frame is formed of two cylinders joined by a small curving plate. The cylinders contain a copper-alloy spindle. One end of the spindle is lost and the opposite end is secured by a small copper-alloy rove. The chape is in good condition and has an even green patina overall.Length: 32.85mm; width: 40.97mm; thickness of cylinders: 3.86mm. Weight: 8.55g.Whitehead (1996, pages 96-97) suggests that such chapes date from c. 1690-c. 1720 AD.
