Description: | A slightly corroded and bent rectangular double-looped buckle of post-medieval date. The longer sides are slightly incurved, the loops tending towards the trapezoidal from the rectangular. The frame is bevelled externally and internally on the upper surface, though far more shallowly externally. The lower surface is flat. The pin bar is trapezoidal in cross-section. A thick wire pin is looped loosely around it, bevelled to each side on the upper surface. It has been bent downwards at its centre, before being bent upwards towards its tip. The frame can be seen to have been bent, when viewed in profile, upwards at one loop at an angle of about twenty degrees. This bending may be post-depositional or a function of its use. The buckle is paralleled in Whitehead (1996, 75; ref. 464); as such a broad 17th-century date is proposed. The artefact is largely covered by a dark-green patina over a red/brown metal.
