BUCKLE
Unique ID: HAMP-903B45
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A corroded cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of early post-medieval date, complete with pin. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve slightly. The frame is bevelled externally on the upper surface; bevelling echoed internally on the lower surface. The basic wire pin survives loosely looped around the pin bar; there are faint suggestions of pin rests. The buckle frame has corroded to a variable mid-green colour with some patches of off-white corrosion product and darker green patina surviving in places. The pin, of a different alloy, is of a red-brown colour. The buckle has been bent slightly in profile.
