Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of post medieval date. It is a double looped buckle frame with a narrowed central bar for the pin. Part of the outside edge of the frame and the pin are missing due to old breaks. There are semi-circular knops at either end of the bar and on both edges of the frame, one of which would have formed a rest for the pin.
It has a mid-green patina and some iron staining on the central bar and the pin rest.
