An incomplete Medieval copper-alloy buckle dating to circa AD 1200-1400. The extant piece consists of the plate, surviving in two parts, now separated. The plates is formed of two sheets of copper alloy which would have been joined together by rivets. Two circular-sectioned rivets survive on the interior face of the front plate and slot through two circular rivet holes on the other plate, although now are no longer joined due to surrounding breaks. Surrounding the rivet holes on the interior face is organic material which would have formed the strap. The exterior face of one of the pla…

An incomplete Medieval copper-alloy buckle dating to circa AD 1350-1500. It is a single D-shaped buckle with integral forked spacer. The piece is complete save for the missing, externally made, sheet metal plate and pin, the latter of which is survived by a rectangular-sectioned loop wrapped around the bar. The frame is plano-convex in section with a median knop projecting from the outer edge. The knop is positioned in front a triangular V-shaped groove in which the pin would have rested. The bar has a raised transverse collar with a median constricted section aroun…

Distorted fragment of a large medieval copper alloy buckle frame, a straight outside edge of almost flat cross-section with a small part of both sides. On the gently convex front face there is a pin groove and, near both junctions with the sides beyond which the edge projects very slightly, there is a pair of narrow grooves, It is uncertain whether the buckle was single-looped (cf. NMS-3CAD39) or double-looped (cf. NMS-886894). Weight 5.81g. Width and thickness of edge 39mm and 2 - 2.4mm. Extant length 18mm, of which the edge accounts for 9.5mm. Mid 14th - mid 15th century.

Heavily eroded medieval copper-alloy pin from a buckle or brooch. It is plano-convex in cross section and appears to be mostly complete, except for extensive surface loss and pitting. The loop is either bent open (currently curving around 180 degrees) or is incomplete: probably the former, since its terminal tapers to a fine point (in thickness) and does not appear to be broken. The shaft tapers in width uniformly from the base of the loop to a point at the opposite end. There is no trace of a collar. 13th to 14th century. Length: 49.5mm. Width: 6.1mm. Thickness (at base of shaft): 4.…

Front plate of a medieval folded buckle plate. It is a single sub-rectangular sheet, terminating in a worn transverse break at the fold and heavily abraded on the other edges. The break truncates a pin slot and recesses for the frame. There are three rivet holes: two at the folded end arranged transversally, but not perpendicularly to the long edges, and each retaining a dome-headed rivet, and a single vacant one at the centred on the attachment end. There are traces of gilding on the front of the plate but no decoration survives. 12th to 14th century.  Length: 23.1mm Width: 11.2…
