An incomplete post-medieval copper-alloy double-looped buckle dating to c. 1650-1720. What remains is one loop and the bar of frame. The buckle has cast floral decoration with a rosette at the centre of the outer edge of the loop (rose shaped knop) and sub-triangular protrusions at both ends of the narrowed pin bar in the form of moulded lis. The protrusions at the pin bar would have sat at the centre of pronouncedly incurved top and bottom edges. The frame is broad and thin with flat faces and rounded edges; the reverse is solid and flat. The buckle is brown in colour with remain…

A copper-alloy buckle of medieval or post-medieval date, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. The frame is a plain, formed of two conjoined oval loops. There is a small notch acting as a pin rest central on the front of one of the loops. In cross-section the frame is a rounded rectangle. The buckle has a mid-green patina with small specs of light green corrosion product. The frame is 39.4mm long, 27.0mm wide and 2.9mm thick. It weighs 6.41g. Similar buckle frames are illustrated by Whitehead (2003, 52-53; nos. 291-299) which are given a wide date range, c. 1350-1650.

A fragment from a medieval copper-alloy 'locking' buckle. This fragment consists of the locking arm, including the thinned section which would have gone through the frame, and, at one end of this latter, the thickened curved arm which has been broken. The arm also widens as it continues from the thinned section; it curves through ninety degress before the old break. The thinned element is cicular in cross-section; the arm is oval in cross-section. The fragment is a light green corrosive colour. It measures 3.4mm in thickness. The fragment is 29.3mm (of the orignal width) by 15.1mm …

A post-medieval copper-alloy rectangular double-looped buckle, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. The frame is plain, flat and wide, with bevelled edges and a narrowed pin bar. Corroded, the frame is 35.4mm long by 24.0mm wide. It is 1.5mm thick and weighs 4.75g. It can be compared with an example illustrated by Whitehead (2003, 75; no. 462), which he dates to c. 1570-1700, but without giving archaeological evidence in support of such a date.

Gilded copper-alloy buckle plate. The central part is rectangular, with two folded-under hinge loops along one long edge, both now broken (old breaks). Slightly more of one hinge loop is missing than the other. A narrow waist in the centre of the other long edge separates the central part from a terminal. This is symmmetrical, with each half consisting of a subrectangular centre with crescentic end projections; the effect is that of a cow-horn or moustache shape. The upper surface is decorated with a series of engraved diagonal lines converging on the waist of the buckle plate. Rows…

Incomplete and distorted cast copper alloy buckle frame of medieval date (perhaps 12th century). The buckle frame was oval but is now missing its bar. The surviving part is angular crescent shape, and broadly D-shaped in cross-section. One of the ends terminates in a small sub-rectangular knop with a patinated break, whilst the other terminates in a break worn to a point. The front of the buckle frame is convex (domed) whilst the reverse is flat. The edges of the frame are slightly bevelled or faceted. At the centre of the frame is an oval band which fits over a slight constriction…

Recorded at the Hidden Treasure Finds Day at National Museums & Galleries of Wales. Medieval copper alloy buckle of unusual form. The buckle has broken and is distorted but is complete, except for the missing pin. The buckle has a single loop frame with a central bar. The outside edge of the frame is decorated with a projecting zoomorphic head and the inside edge has a ridged triangular projection. Together they appear to represent the head and tail of an animal, possibly a bird. The animal head design resembles buckle / brooches, such as Egan’s (1991) No 212, dated to c.1350-1400. E…
