A fragment of a copper-alloy medieval buckle frame. Only the outer part survives. This is narrowed and recessed with a prominant knop to either end suggesting that it probably accommodated a separate sheet metal roller originally. As such it is most likely to belong to Meols Type 12, which dates to the late 13th to early 14th century (Griffiths et al. 2007, fig.2.5.1).  Length: 20.58mm, width: 7.84mm, thickness: 5.45mm, weight: 2.84g

A fragment of a copper-alloy medieval buckle frame. Only the outer edge of the frame survives. This is expanded and unusually ornately decorated. Both faces are divided into found rounded knops separated by two transverse ridges in the centre and one transverse ridge between the outer knops. One face is further decorated with a cross-hatched engraved motif covering the surface of each knop. This is an example of a Meols Type 8 buckle, which dates to the late 13th to 14th century AD (Griffiths et al. 2007, fig.2.5.1). Length: 47.32mm, width: 21.89mm, thickness: 5.61mm, weight: 8.21g

An incomplete copper-alloy medieval annular brooch/buckle. The object consists of a simple loop, D-shaped in cross-section with a flattened reverse and rounded outer face and with eight elongated knops projecting from the outer edge at regular intervals. There is a break to one side and the two ends now overlap.  Although unusual in style a small number of similar annular brooches/buckles have now been recorded on the PAS database. See for example: IOW-229096 and WILT-1AE2C5 with their pins in situ. The present example seems to lack a pin recess - the short st…

An incomplete copper-alloy Medieval rectangular locking buckle. The frame is rectangular in shape with a thickened outer end. This end is recessed to its reverse and has a transverse groove across the centre of its outer face to act as a pin rest. Each longer side has a rounded expansion towards the inner end; both pierced with a small hole through which the end of the locking arm is secured. The tubular head of the in situ copper-alloy pin sits around this part of the arm, allowing it to move freely. The arm itself is curved into a U-shape, extending back around the inner en…

An incomplete cast Medieval copper alloy rectangular buckle frame of Meols type C, dating to the late 14th century. The outer end is thicker than the others and the strap bar is narrowed. A common characteristic on 14th-century buckle frames is a pair of tiny ridges across the top and bottom edges of the frame, which can just be seen on this buckle even though it is corroded. The pin does not survive. It has a brown patina.  It belongs to Meols (Griffiths et al. 2007, 84, fig.2.5.1) Type C, which is of late 14th century date.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a Post Medieval cast copper alloy buckle, c.AD 1700-1800. This is one of the long sides of a buckle frame, oval in section and arched in profile. At one end, the frame begins to turn into a 90 degree angle, but an old break has separated it from the rest of the frame. In the middle of this fragment, the frame widens and a small, precise circle was drilled into the centre of the sides. This was most likely where the centre bar would have sat. The precise cut and small size of this circle suggests a late Post-Medieval date of manufacture.

An incomplete Medieval copper-alloy buckle dating to circa AD 1200-1400. The extant piece consists of the incomplete frame. It has a simple oval frame with expanded outer edge and offset and narrowed bar. A recessed transverse rectangular slot is positioned in the centre of the front face of the outer edge to take receipt of the now missing pin. The lower edge of the frame has broken. The frame is plain. It is consistent with Meols type 1 (Griffiths et al 2006). A similar example is illustrated in Egan and Pritchard 1991: pg 69, fig 41, no 264.
