Copper alloy Medieval circular buckle. The frame is circular in shape. The pin is attached to the frame via a loop of metal at one end. The pin is thick and fairly blunt, ruling out the possibility that this may instead have been a brooch. As is pointed out in Egan and Pritchard's Dress Accessories (1991, 64-65) there is occasionally some confusion between circular buckles and brooches of this period, but generally brooches are of a more elaborate constuction, with sharper pins, and with recesses into which the pin may fit. Egan and Pritchard (1991, 64) date buckles of this kind largel…

Post medieval cast copper alloy double loop buckle frame. One loop is 90% missing from old breaks, the other is complete. The frame is D shaped in section with a flat back. The complete loop is trapizoid with the shorter edge by the strap bar. The outer edge has a central pin notch and a expanded thin lip running along the outer side. The strap bar is narrowed.

Cast copper alloy rectangular knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate iron spindle. The frame has a chamfered outer edge from the base inwards, at the back of the buckle, and an obliquely angled inner edge. The spindle is made of iron and has covered the remains of the copper alloy tongue and chape and part of the frame with iron corrosion products. The pin and most of the chape are now missing. The surface of the frame has a silvery green patina as the upper face has been tinned. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle on page 102, No.660, which is dated from c.1690-…

Cast copper alloy oval knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate iron spindle. The frame has a chamfered outer edge from the base inwards, at the back of the buckle, and an angled and hollowed inner edge. The spindle is made of iron and still holds the remains of the copper alloy tongue and chape, as there are iron corrosion products around the drilled holes and gaps in the chape. The pin is missing, but there is a v-shaped groove on the inside edge of one side of the frame which acted as the pin rest. The surface of the frame has a deep green patina and the upper face may have o…
