A worn and damaged cast single-looped copper-alloy buckle frame of medieval date. The frame is oval in form with a thick, triangular outer edge which is bevelled externally; the lower surface is bevelled in parallel internally. The outer edge features a notch to take the pin centrally. Flanking the triangular element on either side is a pair of slightly protruding transverse ridges. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed; the pin is missing. The frame has a dusty mid-green patina. The pin bar has been bent upwards as has one of the sides. A frame of similar form can be found illu…

A worn, corroded but almost complete cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The object is lozengiform with one corner truncated by a circular suspension loop (Dia.: 12.4mm, int. dia.: 7.5mm). The main field is quatrilobate with triangular projections between the semicircles, much like a medieval harness pendant. The semicircles (other than that truncated by the loop, and one which has suffered a break) terminate in circular knops. The field is decorated with an intertwined lozenge and quatrefoil incised in low relief. In the centre is a circular perforation which retains the r…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy harness pendant suspension mount of medieval date (c. 14th century). This bar mount has a semi-circular section; the lower face is flat. Each end is rounded with a perforation and a long, pointed knop; the rivets have been lost. These terminals are divided from the horizontal element by a double cusp. Central on the lower edge is a double-looped integral attachment; one of the loops has abraded through. Remnants of the separate iron axis bar are retained in the perforations. On the upper surface this element is bevelled irregularly on both sides above the loops. …

An incomplete spacer plate from a medieval composite strap-end with stylised collared acorn knop terminal cast in copper alloy. One of the prongs has been almost entirely lost while the other has probably lost elements from its tip (th.: 2.05mm). The thick collared acorn knop is relatively well rendered with nut and fruit moulded. The object has been bent slightly at the junction of the spacer with the terminal. Similar strap-ends can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 144; fig. 94) and date to the 14th or 15th centuries AD.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded and damaged, yet complete, cast copper-alloy mount of medieval date. The mount is rectangular with rounded corners with pointed knopped protrusions at both ends. There are perforations at each rounded end to take a rivet; only one survives in place. The upper surface is moulded while the lower surface is flat. There is a cusp between each terminal at the body of the mount. The body is bevelled with a central longitudinal seam. Very slight traces suggest that the mount would have been gilded. It is a dark red-brown colour with overlying dusty yellow-green corrosion pro…

A corroded cast copper-alloy mount of medieval date (c. 13th century AD). The mount is circular in form with semicircular protrusions on the corners to take rivets, all of which survive (max. Th. at rivet: 4.2mm). Flat on the lower surface, the upper surface is moulded in low relief. The latter bears a voided cross of Toulouse within a circular border. Within the border and in the voids of the cross are enamel traces of a red colour. Traces of gilding also survive around the rivet heads and shanks on both faces. The mount has been slightly bent in profile. Pendants and mounts of …

A worn medieval cast copper-alloy single-looped rectangular buckle. The frame has a ridge near each corner. The outer edge is thick (Th.: 4.15mm, W.: 4.5mm), and features three filed central transverse grooves with a further pair, one towards each side, on both faces. The pin bar is offset and narrowed; the pin is missing. The pin bar is pushed into the frame slightly at a central point around which the pin would have sat. The buckle is a dull grey colour with traces of lighter, yellow corrosion product on both faces. A parallel can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 96…

A corroded and slightly abraded medieval composite strap-end with a sheet spacer. The strap-end is sub-rectangular in form with an angled terminal. The sheet spacer occupies around three quarters of the outer sheets and their whole widths (L.: c. 19.5mm). The whole is held together by a pair of surviving rivets, one towards the terminal, through the spacer and outer sheets, and one towards the attachment end. On of the sheets is slightly abraded at the attachment end; at this weak point too the strap-end has been bent slightly in profile. The object has a mid/dark-green patina with are…

A damaged cast copper-alloy external sheet plate from a three-piece composite medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end (14th or 15th century AD). The object is sub-rectangular in form with an angled end terminating in a small semicircular knop. The attachment end is slightly incurved with an off-centre circular perforation (Dia.: 4.1mm). This is flanked on both sides by a rivet hole towards the edge of the sheet. One perforation appears to be through the edge and has inevitably lost its rivet. The other hole retains its rivet which has been bent inwards on the lower surface. The upper s…

A cast copper-alloy oval medieval buckle frame with ornate outside edge. The frame is relatively wide and short. As a buckle this is an incomplete example in so far as it is missing its pin and plate. The frame's outer edge has knopped ends which travel slightly outwards. On the upper surface the outer edge is decorated by fine transverse incisions along the edge between the knops.The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed; it has also been slightly bent, off-centre. The internal and external faces of the frame are bevelled on the upper surface, more so internally on the curved sides;…

An incomplete, damaged copper-alloy medieval sword or dagger scabbard chape. The object is of sheet metal construction bent round into a trapezoidal form. On the reverse face the sheet does not join (gap W.: c. 3.2mm). Damaged has occurred at the terminal whose form is unclear, possibly rounded. Much of one of the lower halves has been lost and the remnants bent round on the reverse face. The attachment end too has been slightly bent and abraded. On the front surface the attachment end has a decorative wavy edge formed of cut triangular removals. Below are three small perforations …

A corroded, incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of early post-medieval date. The frame is formed of a pair of 'Ds' that incurve towards the pin bar; the pin is missing. On the upper surface the frame is bevelled round the outer edge. The frame has a cross-section of the form of a triangle with rounded corners, with the pin bar more of a square cross-section. The frame is plain with some traces of tinning. One of the loops has been bent upwards at one end.

An incomplete and damaged cast copper-alloy oval medieval buckle frame with ornate outside edge. The outer edge has a just knop beyond the frame at both ends, between which four transverse ridges create three grooves; the central groove would have acted as a pin rest. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed; the pin is missing. The internal and external faces of the frame are bevelled such that it has a triangular cross-section with rounded corners; the reverse is flat. The buckle has corroded to a red-brown colour consistent with metal objects heated for gilding; traces of gilt ha…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval single-looped buckle with integral plate. The frame is sub-rectangular in form with an internal and external edge which is gently bevelled, as are the edges of the plate; the lower surface of the buckle is flat. The outer edge varies in thickness but has a prominent central pin notch. The pin is now missing, but would have been looped around a circular perforation at the junction of frame and plate. The beginnings of the plate, nearest the frame, are rectangular and narrowed from the frame (W.: 12.4mm; frame W.: 16.3mm). Within this rectangul…

A small medieval cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle frame. The buckle is sub-rectangular, with slightly incurved sides and a lipped outer edge. An iron pin partially survives corroded at one end of the pin bar. There is a central notch on the internal face of the outer edge which would have taken the pin originally. The metal is covered in dusty light green corrosion product with red-brown metal beneath. A slightly larger buckle of similar form can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 27; ref. 143).
