Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy trapezoidal shoe or knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The spindle, chape and pin are missing. The frame is symmetrical in plan and is moulded at the front and flat and plain at the rear and has concave sides. When viewed from the side, it has a downward curving profile. Above each spindle hole there is a moulded roundel, with a scroll on either side which terminate in a roundel and arch outwards. There are ridges between the edge of the scroll and the outer edges of the frame flanked at each end by a splayed and flatter moulding. At the centre of each outside edge of the frame there is a transverse grooved pin rest with a lipped moulding at each side. The frame is corroded but there are patches of tinning on the front and back of the frame suggesting that the whole frame was once tinned.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle on page 99, no.617, which is dated from c.1660-1720.
