Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper alloy single looped buckle and plate dating to the medieval period. The buckle is D-shaped in plan and has indeterminate scrolled moulding either side of the pin rest. The integral strap bar retains the pin and the plate. The plate is formed by a single sheet of copper alloy, looped over the strap bar and being thinner on one side. The strap would have been held in place by two copper alloy rivets, which are retained. The plare is undecorated. This is a small example of a buckle current throughout the medieval period, c. AD 1250-1500.

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap loop frame dating to the medieval period. The strap loop would have been trapezoidal in plan, with a wider outer frame edge decorated with two small projecting knops at its outer corners, with a third larger knop in the centre, which is what remains here. There would have been two triangular prongs inside the loop which would have helped stay the strap. One side arm of the frame is partially retained. For a discussion on these types of strap loops, see Egan and Pritchard 1991, p. 231-233; cf. Ibid Fig. 149, no. 1263. c. AD 1150-1400.
