An incomplete post-Medieval copper-alloy shoe buckle frame (c. 1720-c. 1790). This openwork frame is moulded at the front and flat at the rear. The openings are sub-circular as well as elongated sub-rectangular. At the centre of the surviving outside edge there is a rosette motif which is flanked by grooves in low relief (It can be assumed that there would have been a similar motif on the missing outside edge). Other decoration on the upper surface is unclear. Two holes on the underside accommodated a separate spindle to secure the missing pin and bar (chape). Each hole is surrou…
