Description: | A late medieval lead alloy annular shoe buckle dating to late 14th - early 15th century. This buckle has a flat circular frame with a raised circlular section in the centre. There is a central circular bar. There is constriction for the pin in the centre of the central bar. The pin is missing. The edge of the circular frame is decorated with moulded beading.Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan & Pritchard (1991:57) where they are described as shoe buckles and they were excavated from contexts dating late 14th - early 15th century and in Egan (2005:34) dated 1650-1700, however this is described as residual. Egan (2005:34) writes "shoe buckles are first continued with the two standard late medieval forms (as this above example) with a hiatus in the early 17th century before the new post-Restoration fashion of slightly larger, sub-rectangular frames with a plate".Dimensions: diameter: 22.77 mm; weight: 3.76g.Reference: Egan G. and Pritchard F. 1991.
