Description: | An incomplete tin alloy (pewter) buckle frame, of Post Medieval dating (AD 1650 to AD 1750).The buckle is a trapezoidal shoe or knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The sides are moulded and concaved. The buckle has been decorated with wide vertical grooves across its surface. The ridges separating the grooves have been decorated with multiple transverse notches. The reverse is undecorated and the spindle no longer remains. The buckle frame measures 36.0 mm in length, 24.0 mm wide and 3.7 mm thick. It weighs 7.0 gThe buckle frame is a mid grey colour, with an even surface patina. Traces of iron corrosion at the central point, suggest that the spindle may have been made from iron.Similar trapezoidal buckles with drilled frames have been recorded on the PAS database and are considered to be Post medieval in dating (AD 1650 to AD 1750). A similar example has been recorded as YORYM-E03620.
