Title
Post Medieval chape from a shoe buckle (obverse and reverse)w
Description
English: A Post Medieval copper alloy chape from a shoe buckle, dating to circa AD 1690-1720. The buckle frame is missing and all that remains is the 'cooking pot' shaped chape which comprises a broadly trapezoidal shaped frame with a single internal spike on the inside of the frame. The upper edge of the frame has an internal convex edge. Above the frame is a horizontally placed circular tube (spindle) from which a single triangular projection extends. The object is plain and undecorated with a mid-green to brown coloured patina. Whitehead (2003: p.96 ref V) illustrates the different type of chapes used on Jacobean shoe buckles. This example is classed as a type 'V' such chapes functioned by the spike on the inside of the frame being pressed through a hole under the latchet of the shoe.

The chape measures 32.25mm long, 26.09mm wide, is 2.565mm thick at its widest point on the frame and weighs 5 grams.
