Record ID: PUBLIC-ACA0D0
Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Published
Post-medieval copper-alloy double-looped asymmetrical buckle frame, perhaps from a shoe, with white-metal coating. One loop is rectangular, the other D-shaped internally and with a pointed outer edge. The central bar appears to have been of iron and survives, although very corroded. There is a good parallel in Whitehead (2003, no. 598), also with an iron bar and white-metal coating; Whitehead dates this example to c. 1660-c. 1720. These buckles are usually small, and this one measures 26.37 x 21.61mm. It is 4.46mm thick and weighs 5g.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of a cast copper alloy two loop bucke. A rectangular section stem or shank which extends between two flat elements with, in so far as they remain, curved edges, and both bearing a rayed pattern of grooves converging on the stem. Rusty stains on the central shank hint at the former presence of a ferrous metal component. This identification was kindly offered by Laura Burnett, with confirmation of this offered by Rob Webley, who comments as follows: 'This looks like the pin bar of a post-medieval buckle, the rust from the missing iron pin. Cf. Whitehead (2003, 65; e.g. no. 402)…

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Probable enamelled copper alloy mount or stud, possibly late Iron Age. The artefact has been affected by corrosion and on the undecorated face this corrosion may have removed all trace of any mounting that may originally have been there. The decorated face consists of a raised eight rayed cross, star, or flower, within a raised circular border. The rays are grouped crudely into pairs and the resultant cells were originally flooded with enamel, the residue of which is present in the form of a dull orange deposit. Hard to date with any certainty but likely to have been produced between …
