shoe buckle
Pilgrim costume detail
A shoe buckle is a decorative or functional fastener on a shoe, typically made of metal.
Buckled shoes were fashionable in the 17th and 18th centuries, and shoe buckles remain associated with period costume—Pilgrims, colonial dress, leprechauns.
Modern shoe buckles appear mainly on women's dress shoes and children's Mary Janes.
