Unique ID: BUC-781AB8

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

An incomplete medieval to post medieval copper alloy annular buckle dating from 1350-1650, missing the pin. The frame is oval shaped with a central pin bar, the inside of the frame is bevelled. The pin bar is narrowed and sub triangular in cross section. There is a mass of iron corrosion at one end of the pin bar, suggesting that the pin was iron. The buckle is a dark green colour, with traces of black lacquer. The buckle measures 38.1mm in length, 35.6mm in width and weighs 7.83g.

The buckle is similar to one in Whitehead 1996, 44, 253.
