Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete and highly corroded cast copper-alloy oval single-looped buckle frame, with possible zoomorphic features, of early-medieval to medieval date. The frame is sub-oval in section, and thicker at the outer edge. This tapers into a probable zoomorphic head, with a flattened oval ear, probable eye and an elongated snout from which the narrow strap bar extends. The lower end of this zoomorphic buckle tapers out in opposition to the snout and nose to give the appearance of curvature in the strap bar. Additionally, along the spine of the buckle is a raised linear feature. The buck…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete, corroded cast copper-alloy double-looped trapezoidal buckle of post-medieval date (17th century AD). The loops are trapezoidal in shape, with the outer edges of the frame are angled to create an outward facing triangular point at each end. On one of these points it is possible to see a trace of gilt below the corrosion. In the centre of the other triangular protrusion is a corroded mass of iron; this is representative of a now absent iron pin, the tip of which having fused. The buckle has a narrow central pin bar which terminates in two rounded knops that protrude beyon…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete corroded, worn and bent cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle with an angled frame of post-medieval date. The loops are broadly oval in shape, while the outer edges of the frame are angled to create a triangular point on either side; these have no clear decoration but are reminiscent of the moulded rosettes found on similar buckles. The object has a narrow central pin bar which terminates in two knops that protrude slightly beyond the exterior of the buckle. At one end of this bar is an area of iron corrosion, which is suggestive of a now absent iron pin. The sides of t…
