Description: | A cast copper-alloy annular buckle of medieval to post-medieval date. The artefact has a central pin bar of trapezoidal cross-section. Still looped around it is the loop of a thick sheet copper-alloy pin, folded inwards at the sides to create a point. Both surfaces of the buckle are flat; the sides are bevelled from the upper surface steeply internally and externally. The circumference is rounded. The upper surface is decorated with multiple diagonal grooves creating a ropework effect.The object has a mid-green patina largely overlain by a black coating. A similar buckle can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 45; ref. 263), described as a shoe buckle. The buckle is covered in file diagonal filemarks.
