Description: | A complete copper alloy sub rectangular buckle and chape, of Post medieval dating (c. AD 1690 to c. AD 1720).The buckle is a sub rectangular shoe or knee buckle, with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The frame is expanded at the outer edges and by the spindle. Iron staining is present on the reverse of the buckle, suggesting that the spindle may have been made from iron. The chape is of a Whitehead type 1 (Anchor). The chape has a circular perforation at the base, this would have been for the stud to attach the buckle to the shoe. The pin is complete and has a rectangular section.The buckle measures 45.7 mm in length, 24.8 mm wide and 7.4 mm thick. It weighs 11.9 grams.The buckle is a mid green to brown colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.A similar example has been published as #653 by Whitehead (1996, page 103) and dates to between c. AD 1690 to c. AD 1720.Reference:Whitehead, R. 1996. Buckles 1250 - 1800. Greenlight Publishing, Witham.
