Buckle
A green-patinated bronze buckle shown on a pale ground. A curled, scroll-like hook extends from a hinged bar at the left, while the rectangular plate on the right carries a regular pattern of rivet holes. Corrosion and a red catalogue number mark the surface.
Look closer: A small red catalogue number is written on the right end of the plate.
