Title
Post-medieval Knee buckle
Description
English: A copper-alloy Knee buckle of suggested late 17th to early 18th century date (see Whitehead, 1996, p. 98).

The outer part of the frame has been cast in one piece, but the cental axis bar, evidenced by the attached iron corrosion, was added separately. Each side of the frame is roughly D-shaped, the upper and lower sides of the frame having a pronounced inward curvature. The upper surfaces of each of the vertical outer edges have the same decoration, consisting of: a central pin slot upon a raised (possibly leaf) design, an incised groove along the outer edge, two punched rings and two punched wheel-like ornaments. The curved upper and lower sides have a raised central moulding with three vertical divisions, each containing a punched ring mark; either side of this central moulding is a lower moulding with two horizontal rows of punched triangles. The underside of the buckle is flat and plain.

The object measures 25.4mm long, 16.8mm wide and 2.9mm thick. The weight is 2.96g.
