Copper alloy buckle frame and pin. A single looped, D-shaped buckle. The outer edge of the frame is thick and crudely cast with a rounded rectangular cross section. The bar is slightly recessed from the frame and has a more circular cross section. The frame has numerous file marks over most of the surface. The pin is hooked around the bar with a narrow and tapering tab.The pin flares out from the tab at the proximal end and tapers to a point at the distal end. The pin is hollowed at the back. The somewhat crude and irregular casting makes this hard to date closely. Medieval. C. 1250 …

A cast copper alloy buckle of probable late medieval or early post-medieval date. The asymmetrical double loop buckle measures 56.1mm by 19.4mm by 4mm and weighs 7.2g. The strap bar is narrowed and off-set and at each end of it the frame has a small external knop. One side of the rounded frame is larger than the other and there is a large projection from the centre of the outside edge on both side of the frame. These appear to be loosely zoomorphic, with one side moulded to represent a stylised head and shoulders and the other side a flared, possibly feathered, tail. In the centre of t…

Medieval copper alloy buckle frame. A single oval looped frame with forked spacers to take rigid sheet plates (missing). The frame has a point in the middle of the outer edge and a slight notch behind this where the missing pin would have rested. The back of the frame is notched for the attachment of the pin. The proximal ends of the spacers are thickened into transverse ridges with grooves aither side. The inside edges of the spacers are stepped in before they tapes to the distal ends (one end is snapped off). Both spacer arms are bent. G Egan(in Egan a & Pritchard, 1991, Dress Acc…
