Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete but corroded two piece buckle of post Medieval date. The frame is sub-oval in shape and semi-circular in profile with a drilled frame for the separate central iron or steel spindle. The upper surface of the frame has scalloped decoration. A copper alloy sheet stud chape is folded around the central spindle and there is notable ferrous corrosion on the surface of the chape due to the spindle. Buckles of this type are typically deemed to be shoe or knee buckles which were fashionable in the Jacobean era, they are therefore dated c.1660-1720.

Complete cast lead alloy uniface token of Post Medieval date. The token is plain on the reverse and has a simple relief letter T design with three pellets above on the obverse. Tokens of this type are difficult to date as they are very simple to produce and probably had a multitude of uses over time. Those carrying initial letters are believed to be post Medieval in date and for this reason the token is dated broadly AD. c.1500-1800.
