BUCKLE

Unique ID: SUSS-15F818

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A cast copper alloy double looped buckle frame. The buckle frame and strap bar survive intact, but the pin is missing. Iron corrosion can be seen on the strap bar. Neither loop of the frame has a pin recess. The reverse is undecorated and flat. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour. These buckles date from circa 1350 - 1650. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead (2003), p53 and Egan (2005), p35, Fig.17.
