A Post Medieval cast copper-alloy double loop buckle frame, c. 1600-1720 AD. The loops are oval with the outer edges expanded into points at the top and bottom and incorporating a raised line, the outside edges are also bevelled. The strap bar is plain with iron corrosion at the centre which maybe the remains of an iron pin. It is 30.31mm long, 20.02mm wide, 2.40mm thick and weighs 3.80 grams. Cf. Whitehead 2003, page 71, esp. No. 442.

A cast copper-alloy double loop trapezoidal buckle frame with a notched pin bar and separate strap bar. The frame is rectilinear, flaring slightly from the strap bar to the outer edge.

An incomplete copper-alloy double-loop trapezoidal buckle. Whitehead suggests a 17th century date for this form of buckle (1996: 84). The intact side of the frame is sub-trapezoidal in plan, with a projecting lobe on each corner and a central pointed pin rest with incised transverse groove. The central axis bar is of rectangular section and has a projecting lobe at each end. The pin, made from a flattened and tapering length of copper-alloy wire, has been looped around the axis bar, its point sitting on the pin rest. The flat surfaces have been tinned or silvered. Only a sm…

A Post Medieval cast copper alloy double loop buckle frame (1550-1650 AD). The loops are oval and almost triangular in cross section with a flat back and very bevelled sides. The strap bar is narrowed with a pointed knop at either end. From the centre of the outer edge of each loop projects a large oval knop that has been flattened on the upper surface and decorated with an incised sexfoil flower. An Iron concretion remains on the strap bar suggesting that the pin, which is now missing, was made from iron. 80% of the buckle is covered with some kind of black coating (possibly lacquer)…

Treasure case 2010 T820 A complete silver annular buckle of Medieval date, probably from the thirteen or fourteenth century. The outer diameter is 19.73mm, thickness 4.41mm and weight: 2.68g. The buckle has a circular sectioned frame. There is a slight recess in the inner side of the frame in one area, just 4mm long. This may indicate where the pin was attached, but it is not enough of a constriction to stop the pin moving. The free running silver pin is folded around the frame to form a loop. The shaft of the pin tapers from the loop to the sharp tip which is slightly undercut. …
