Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A corroded cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date, incomplete in as much as it is missing its pin. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on the upper surface, the latter far more shallowly. The lower surface is bevelled internally. The pin bar has a trapezoidal cross-section and has a subtle lobed knop at each end. The buckle has corroded to a red/brown colour with some areas of off-white corrosion product.
