Description: | Cast copper alloy trapezoidal knee buckle with concave sides, an internally bevelled inside edge and widened exterior edges to each loop, and two moulded transverse ridges on either side of a raised square above the spindle hole which has been drilled into the frame. The spindle, chape and pin are all intact, and the areas of iron corrosion around the spindle suggest it is made of iron, but the pin and chape are both sheet copper alloy. The chape has a trefoil terminal and the pin sits on the groove in the internal edge of one side of the frame which was designed as the pin rest. The dark green patina survives well on all surfaces, and there are a few patches of black lacquer, which was used to protect the copper alloy beneath (Whitehead, 1996, 8).Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle with transverse ridges on page 99, No.626, which is dated from c.1660-1720.
