Title
Late Medieval to Post Medieval: Lead alloy Annular shoe buckle
Description
English: A lead alloy (pewter) annular shoe buckle of the late Medieval - early Post Medieval period, dating from c. AD1400- c. AD 1600.

The buckle has a circular buckle frame with an off centre distorted strap bar. The frame is decorated with a raised, bevelled band along the centre of the frame and beading around the edge. The cross-bar has a central groove to secure the pin. The iron wire pin is missing. One loop is larger than the other. The reverse face has a bevelled inner edge.

The buckle measures 23.7 mm in diameter and has a thickness of 2.6 mm. It weighs 3.3 g.

The buckle is a mid grey in colour with an uneven patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail, and has resulted in some damage to the object.

Several similar examples have been excavated in London, Egan & Pritchard (1991:66-7 no.227) write that the numbers suggest these were a standard form for London and they are not readily paralleled elsewhere. The authors suggest a 15th century date and note these buckles were for shoes but just how this new fashion related to the longer established, smaller plain-circular form of shoe buckle is not clear. Examples of this form of buckle on the database are LON-7E4CF0, LON-075D16, PUBLIC-608D6A, LON-D36970, LON-7A4E36 and LON-BB7B6A.
