BUCKLE

Unique ID: HAMP-8585B1

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

An incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle frame. The frame was formed of a pair of oval loops; one of these has broken more or less at its junction with the pin bar. The extant outer edge has a rounded, pointed central protrusion. The upper surface is moulded with a round moulding at the outer edge, and segments on the loop. There is a shallow lobed moulding at each end of the pin bar. The pin bar is rectangular in cross-section and has lost its pin. The upper surface is bevelled externally, while the lower surface is flat. This artefact has corroded to a red-brown colour with areas of overlying green corrosion product. The buckle was also tinned. As well as its losses this buckle has been twisted. Buckles of this form, alloy and decoration can be dated to the 16th/17th centuries AD.
