Cast copper-alloy single looped buckle plate dating to the medieval period (c. 1250-1400). Three small rivets (one of which remains in place) were used for attachment of the leather strap. The plate is small and less than a mm thick; while the reverse is plain, the obverse is sparsely decorated with a zigzaggy line following the outline of the plate. Shiny residue on the surface suggests that the plate was once silvered or gilt.

Cast cu-alloy shoe-buckle, probably dating from the 17th/18th century. The buckle frame is roughly square with long separate semi-circular terminals at both loops and rectangular mouldings in the centre of the upper and lower cross bars. While the frame was made from a very tinny cu-alloy (the metal is of light grey colour), the pin was made from wrought iron. A thick layer of iron rust/residue remains around the central spindle where the pin would have been.

Copper alloy Buckle perhaps dating to the 15th century AD. The frame is curved with 6 quarter circle toothed rabbets running along the whole outer edge of each loop and a transverse grooved decoration on the outer edge of each loop.

Single loop ring buckle. The frame has a slightly irregular thickness around which the blunt pin can move freely. This buckle would probably have been used to secure belts at the waist or thigh and had no buckle plate because the bunching of material around the frame gives the end of the strap extra strength. This item may, however, be an annular brooch.

Post Medieval Georgian or modern silver buckle frame and tongue fragment. The countersunk decoration inside the border of the external face is a continuous zig zag motif. Remnants of a rather crude attachment indicate that the buckle may have been repaired at a later date & adapted into a brooch while retaining the original tongue. The rather worn hallmarks indicate it is Chester 1738 or 1913. Makers mark C.H. The absence of a duty mark doesn't aid with dating. Whichever date it was, it appears to be a copy of a form of late seventeenth to early eighteenth century shoe buckle. The …
