Cast copper alloy double-loop asymmetrical knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The buckle frame is shield-shaped in plan, with expanded sides where the spindle holes are. The frame has a bevelled inside edge and a recessed spindle for the cast copper alloy chape and pin. The chape has a trefoil and the pin is still resting on the curved outer edge of the frame. The frame is 24.7 mm long, 20 mm wide and 2.5 mm thick and the chape is 19 mm long, 10.6 mm wide and 2.3 mm thick. The pin is 10 mm long and 3 mm wide. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar example of an asymmetrical knee buckle on page 97, No.599, which is dated from c.1660-1720.
