Description: | A corroded cast copper-alloy oval double-looped buckle of post-medieval date, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. The artefact has a narrow central pin bar. The sides of the upper surface are bevelled gradually internally and gently to the exterior; the lower surface is slightly concave. The buckle is decorated through the creation of segments on the upper surface through transverse grooving. There is a segment at each end of the pin bar, flanked by a further segment to each side. There are a further three transverse grooves at each outer edge, the central of which could have acted as a pin rest. Traces of brown corrosion product on one outer edge and at the centre of the pin bar suggests that the pin was made of iron. The buckle has corroded to a red-brown colour with patches of light-green and off-white corrosion product. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 48).
