A Medieval to Post-Medieval copper alloy annular buckle with a central bar, probably dating to c. AD 1450-1600. The frame and bar are rectangualr in cross section, the outer edge of the frame is case into the form of a five-petaled rose. Dimensions: length 28.0mm; width 26.0mm; thickness 3.0mm; weight 5.71g. A similar buckle was excavated in Norwich in a context dated to AD 1561-1690 (Margeson 1993: 29, no. 157), however, they are often assumed to be earlier based on their decoration, cf. PUBLIC-655D05, HAMP-AD9215.

This is expanded, with a slightly beveled interior edge on the underside and with the front decorated by a series of parallel incised diagonal grooves. The frame is sub-rectangular in cross section. Dimensions: length 11.1mm; width 35.4mm; thickness 4.0mm; weight 3.46g. A comparable fragment is published by Allan (1984: fig. 190, no. 93), excavated in an 18th century context and identified as a large 18th centu…
