Description: | A very worn and slightly corroded cast copper-alloy asymmetrical buckle of Post Medieval date (c. AD 1575-1700). This artefact is incomplete as the pin is absent. The buckle is formed of two asymmetrical loops, with one trapezoidal in plan and the other 'D' shaped. The frame is concave in section, with steep internal bevelling and gradual bevelling at the exterior edge; the pin bar is rectangular in section. At the exterior edge of the 'D' shaped loop, the frame is expanded internally in an oval form to hold a notch for the pin. The underside of this artefact is flat, whilst both upper and lower surfaces are plain and undecorated. This artefact has a broadly dark red-brown corrosion colour, and similar items can be seen in Whitehead (1996: 91).
