BUCKLE
Unique ID: HAMP-4B21C6
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete copper-alloy possible buckle, missing its pin. It is probably Early-Medieval to medieval in date (c. AD 410-1500). The buckle is D-shaped, measuring 14.87mm in length and 8.08mm in total width. A patch of light discolouration halfway down the bar and the outside edge may have been the site of the now missing pin and its rest. The patina is dark green, and there appears to be no decoration on the entire buckle. The buckle weighs 0.43g.
