BUCKLE 467477

Description: A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date, complete with pin. The loops are oval and are bevelled both externally and internally on the upper surface; the former is far shallower. The lower surface is flat giving the frame a sub-triangular cross-section. At both ends of the pin bar is a pointed knopped protrusion. Loosely looped at the centre of the bar is a copper-alloy cast pin of semicircular cross-section. In profile one of the loops has been bent upwards on one side at an angle of c. 10 degrees. The buckle has a shiny, dark-green patina where it survives over a red-brown metal. For comparable buckles see Whitehead (1996, 54).
