Title
BUCKLE
Description
English:

An incomplete post-Medieval white metal buckle (c. 1660-1720).

The pin is missing.

The buckle is a three-piece trapezoidal shoe or knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The pin rests are moulded and flanked by scrolled knops on the outer edge of each loop. The sides are bifid with scrolled knops around the spindle holes. The copper-alloy chape, rectangular in cross-section, tapers in width from the spindle to the round end where there are the remains of an iron stud.

The buckle frame is a dark grey colour, with an even patina. The chape is corroded.

Frame: length: 30.9mm; width: 21.4mm; thickness: 4.8mm.

Chape: length: 26.7mm; width: 8.6mm; thickness: 2.0mm.

Overall length: 38.7mm. Overall weight: 11.09g.

A similar buckle has been recorded and dated c. 1660-1720 (Whitehead 1996: 99, ref: 619).
