Description: | A slightly corroded and bent rectangular double-looped buckle of post-medieval date. The buckle is incomplete in as much as it has lost its pin. The longer sides are slightly incurved. The frame is bevelled externally and internally on both surfaces, apart from the pin bar which is rectangular in cross-section. The frame can be seen to have been bent, when viewed in profile, upwards at one loop and the pin bar. Just off centre there is orange-brown corrosion shows that the pin was made of iron. The buckle is paralleled in Whitehead (1996, 75; ref. 464); as such a broad 17th-century date is proposed. The artefact is now has a largely mid-dark green colour with small patches of off-white and light-green corrosion product, as well as tinning.
