BUCKLE

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date. The buckle is trapezoidal in shape with lobed protrusions at either end of the pin bar. Each outer edge is pointed. The outside edge of the buckle is bevelled while the lower surface is flat. Otherwise complete, the buckle's pin is missing. The buckle dates from around 1620 to 1680 AD. Whilst undecorated, in form the buckle is similar to an example illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 82; ref. 514). The artefact has corroded to a red-brown colour with patches of light-green corrosion product, especially on the lower surface.
