Description: | Cast copper alloy, symmetrical double-looped, oval, shoe buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The frame has rounded expanded ends and raised sides at either end of the spindle holes. The inside of the frame has a bevelled inner edge and flat back so that it is D-shaped in section. There is a moulded collar at the back of the frame around each of the spindle holes drilled into the frame where there is evidence of iron corrosion from the separate steel spindle, now missing. The spindle would have held a cast copper alloy chape and pin which are also now missing. The original surface has survived in places on the upper face of the frame, with a dark brown patina, with areas of copper alloy corrosion on the back.Whitehead (1996) illustrates similar examples on pages 102-103, nos.659 & 662, which are dated from c.1690-1720.Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 145, no.964, which is dated from c.1660-1720s.
