A fragmented cast, copper-alloy, double-looped buckle of post-medieval date (c. AD 1500-1700). The buckle has trapezoidal loops and consists of a narrowed pin bar with a copper-alloy pin still attached. The outer face is undecorated with knops at the corners and small lobes at the ends of the pin bar. The reverse is flat and undecorated. One of the loops remains intact and the other loop has been broken with a fragment missing. Measurements: The length of the larger fragment is 26mm and the smaller fragment is 12mm. The width of both the f…

An incomplete copper-alloy cast double looped trapezoidal buckle frame of post-medieval date (c. AD 1620-1680).  The buckle frame is sub-rectangular, with pointed terminals. There are knops either end of the strap bar which is D-shaped in cross-section. The bar is narrow with straight sides. The loop holes are square in shape rather than rounded. The buckle frame is sub-rectangular in cross section with bevelled outside edges remaining in some places. The pin is missing and the buckle has broken into two pieces with the break occurring thro…

A complete, cast copper-alloy two part buckle of probable Post-medieval date (c. AD 1690-1720). The buckle frame is sub-rectangular in plan with rounded, narrowed corners. It features drilled holes for the separate iron spindle which passes through the centre of the buckle, creating two sub-rectangular loops. The buckle features a cast copper-alloy stud chape, although the stud is now missing. This is wrapped around the length of the strap bar, narrowing in a curved line towards the inside edge of the buckle frame before flaring out again to roughly half the width …

An incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle probably of post-medieval date. The buckle was formed of a pair of oval loops; one has been lost to an old break at the junction of frame and pin bar. The extant loop has an effectively flat reverse, with possible central concavity from the casting process. The front is bevelled both externally and internally, the latter more steeply. There are hints of very small protrusions at each end of the pin bar. A thick sheet copper-alloy pin is still attached.  Measurements: 15 mm in length, 22 mm in width and 2.35 …

A cast, copper-alloy post-medieval asymmetrical buckle dating to c. 1575-1700, incomplete insofar as it is missing its pin. One loop is broadly rectangular and the other loop is D-shaped. The inside of the D-shape loop has a pointed protrusion which could be where the pin rested. The pin bar is notably narrow, though the frame overall has suffered from corrosion, depriving us of much of the original surface and thus any decoration. The reverse of the buckle is flat. Measurements: 38.5 mm in length, up to 26.5 mm in width and 3.78 g in weight. See W…

A medieval cast copper-alloy rectangular double-looped buckle frame, incomplete only insofar as it is missing its pin. The central pin bar is circular in cross-section, narrowed and set back. Its terminals are moulded with knops at the end of the pin bar. Both outer edges are angled up slightly and elaborately moulded into six evenly spaced, disc-shaped knops arranged in a row. Between the discs are deep recessed grooves with only a relatively thin bar running along the inner edge and holding the side together. Each disc has a central engraved horizontal groove running around the outer…

An oval single loop iron buckle, probably dating from the medieval period (c. 13th-15th century AD).  It has an oval frame with slightly narrowed bar. The pin remains in place with the loop wrapped around the bar. While corroded, this buckle has no apparent decoration. The buckle has a rough, orange/brown surface.  Measurements: 42 mm in length, 29 mm in width and the pin is 34 mm in length. The weight is 14.00 g. Decoration on these types of buckles are minimal as they were used widely on horse equipment.
