Description: | Incomplete tinned cast copper alloy rectangular shoe buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle with moulded transverse grooves within raised ovals and oblique gooves at the corners of the frame. The spindle is missing, as is the pin and chape, but one spindle hole survives in a raised semi-circular lug at the back of the frame, which is 5.6 mm thick, just before the broken edge. The back of the buckle is flat, apart from the lug, and there are areas of dark patina remaining, and small patches of tinning remaining on the upper surface.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar shoe buckle on page 101, No.646, which is dated from 1690-1720.
