Title
A complete late Medieval iron annular shoe buckle still attatched to leather strap, dating to the 14th-15th century.
Description
English: A complete late Medieval iron annular shoe buckle still attatched to leather strap, dating to the 14th-15th century. The buckle is circular in both profile and section, with the pin attached by a hinge. The leather strap is conected to the buckle either side of the buckle pin.

Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan & Pritchard (1991:57) where they are described as shoe buckles and they were excavated from contexts dating late 14th - early 15th century and in Egan (2005:34) dated 1650-1700, however this is described as residual. Egan (2005:34) writes "shoe buckles are first continued with the two standard late medieval forms (as this above example) with a hiatus in the early 17th century before the new post-Restoration fashion of slightly larger, sub-rectangular frames with a plate".

Dimensions: length: 44.12mm; width: 17.99mm; weight: 2.04g.

Similar buckles on the database are LON-4BA574 and LON-2A5BF1.
