Shire Book: Buckles

Since the Roman times the basic design of the buckle has hardly changed. It's an important and simple invention which plays a diverse role ranging from a useful every day fastener to a finely crafted decorative piece of jewellery.  The authors place buckles in their historical context and follow their changing roles in fashion and other uses.
