A complete Post Medieval lead alloy buckle stud chape dating AD1675-1700. The chape is straight at the attachment end, with two protruding integral loops for attachment to the central bar of the buckle. The attachment loops are both decorated with two raised, moulded rings spanning the circumference. There are also two raised parallel lines below the attachment loops, spanning the width of the chape. The chape then constricts before widening slightly again leading to a rounded end. A stud projects at 90 degrees from the rounded end of the chape, consisting of a circular-section shaft with a discoidal, domed terminal.
A makers mark is present below the attachment loops, consisting of a crown, with a rampant lion to the right and a rampant horse to the left, both facing the crown.
This chape can be found on complete mid-17th century - early 18th century buckles, such as Egan (2005:37, no.121), which is dated AD1675-1700.
