An incomplete copper alloy buckle of post-medieval date. The buckle is a sub-rectangular knee buckle with a drilled frame to house a separate spindle. The spindle no longer remains. The metal has a mid-grey/brown patina and is worn. The buckle is 17.3mm long, 16.7mm wide, 3.4mm thick and weighs 1.2g. A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead p.111, no.712 and is dated to circa AD 1720 - 1790.

A complete copper alloy double looped buckle, with zoomorphic decoration, of probable Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval dating (AD 1500 to AD 1650). The buckle consists of a double oval looped buckle (spectacle), with moulded transverse ridges on the frame as decoration. Projecting from one outer edge is a zoomorphic head. The head is triangular in shape, with pointed oval shaped eyes, and appears to be representing a bird's head. Part of the sheet copper alloy buckle plate is still present wrapped around the central bar. Iron corrosion products (from an iron pin) cover the buckl…

A cast copper alloy single looped D shaped buckle with a separate rectangular strap plate of medieval date (c.1350 to 1450 AD). The buckle frame is broadly D shaped in plan, with a broad D shape cross section. At the centre of the frame, a single angular pointed projection with a U shaped notch as pin rest is present. The strap bar is off set. Folded around the strap bar is a buckle plate formed from sheet metal. A centrally located slot has been cut into the buckle plate to allow the pin to pivot on the strap bar. The edges of the buckle plate have been offset to allow for the off…

Approximately 25% of the buckle frame is present and consists of the upper half of the external edge of the frame. It is broadly D shaped in cross section. There appears to be an U shaped slot present, presumably the pin rest. The external edge is angled, with traces of gilding visible. The buckle frame fragment measures 22.35mm in length, 17.84mm in width, and 3.50mm thick. It weighs 1.9 grams. A buckle frame of a similar style …

An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of post-medieval date (1690-1720). The frame of the buckle is sub-rectangular in plan with two central drilled holes to which an incomplete copper alloy chape is fixed; from the abundant iron corrosion the drilled pin on which the chape fits is formed of iron. In profile the frame is slightly bowed. There is no evidence of a pin rest on the frame. There is also no decoration. The Similar copper alloy examples to this buckle can be seen in Ross Whitehead's book 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', page 103. Whitehead suggests that these buckles date from the po…

An incomplete Medieval cast copper-alloy annular buckle, two fragments survive. The frame is incomplete part of the pin bar is extant. The frame and pin bar are circular in cross section. The buckle is decorated with with a zigzag incision running along the front face of the frame. Similar decoration on a annular buckle can be found in Egan 1991 p.61 fig. 213 dating to 1400-1450. The buckle is larger than the published example and had a pin bar, a broader date of 1400 - 1650 is suggested. Parts of the surviving frame are heavily worn and the pin is missing. The larger fragment is 31…

A cast copper alloy annular buckle. In plan, the buckle frame is circular and oval in section. The frame is undecorated. The pin is sub-rectangular in plan. The tip is has a slightly tapering to a broken terminal towards the tip. The break was probably quite recent. The opposite terminal, in profile, forms a ‘C’ shape, which would have curled around the strap bar of a buckle frame. The upper surface, as the curl starts, is decorated with a ridge decorated with fine ribs. The surface of the frame and pin is in good condition, it has a dark grey patina. The buckle frame measures 44.1…

A cast copper alloy annular buckle. The buckle frame is circular in plan. The frame has a sub-triangular section as the upper surface tapers to the exterior edge and is slightly convex. Bisecting the frame is a triangular sectioned strap bar. The pin is missing. In profile the frame is slightly twisted, but this does not appear intentional. The surface of the frame is abraded and has traces of a well developed mid green patina. The frame measures 29.96mm diameter and weighs 5g.

The buckle frame is made of cast copper alloy. In plan it is a pointed oval shaped with only one complete loop, the other has the apex of the loop missing. The length of the frame is 24.7mm, the width is 20.2mm. The upper face of the frame is decorated with irregular grooves radiating out towards the outer edge of the frame. The reverse of the frame is undecorated and flat. The strap bar is trapezoidal shape in section. The pin is missing, but there is iron staining on the bar, which suggests there was an iron pin. The surface of the buckle has a dark-green patina.…

Medieval (c. 1270 to mid 14th century) buckle: The copper alloy frame is a double looped rectangle. The strap bar is narrowed and is sub-triangular in section. The strap bar bisects the narrow edges of the frame, therefore running the length of the frame rather than the width. The long edges of the loop is decorated with four deep rabbets, with lengthways and transverse grooves. Some of the grooves may have been filled and have traces of a matte red-brown substance, which looks similar to red copper corrosion, but is very localised in these grooves. Otherwise the surface of the buckle…
