Description: | Large iron buckle c1770-1790, with a possible tin-coating. The outer edges of the frame have a wavy, or scalloped, border. The main part of the frame appears to have originally been openwork, but these spaces are now filled with heavy iron corrosion. There is a separate spindle, also made of iron, and the remnants of a double tongue. The buckle is attracted to a magnet over the whole of its surface, suggesting a high iron content.Due to its decorative nature it is most likely to have been a large shoe or knee buckle. However, Whitehead (2003, 8) notes that iron buckles were used mainly on horse equipment. Length: 97.18; width: 48.61; thickness: 5.61mm; weight: 55.6g
