Description: | A corroded and incomplete, small cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of medieval to post-medieval date. The majority of one loop has been lost as a result of old damage, in addition to the pin. The surviving loop is oval in form with an angled and neatly serrated outer edge of seven points. The loop is bevelled externally on the upper surface; the lower face is flat and plain. The loops curve in towards the pin bar; traces of iron corrosion product at the centre of the pin bar suggest at the pin's composition. Buckles with outer edges treated in this way can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 60; particularly ref. 356). Here they are dated from c. 1450 to 1600 AD. The corrosion product is largely a light-green colour; the underlying metal appears to be red-brown. There are probable traces of tinning on both surfaces.
