A cast copper alloy single-loop buckle with an ornate outer edge, and a wrought copper alloy pin. The frame is oval, with an offset slightly recessed pin bar. The outer edge has three knops with narrow collars between them. The pin is formed of copper alloy wire, with the end bent in a circle around the pin bar. There is no trace of a buckle-plate. The surface is dark green. This buckle probably dates to between 1200 and 1400.

A cast copper alloy plain circular framed buckle, with the pin surviving in situ (but not intact). The frame of the buckle is circular with a circular section. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin is looped around the circular frame and extends to a tapering length of 26.59mm. The pin has lost its end, but the break well worn. There is no decoration on the buckle. The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal is a mixture of a light greyish-green colour and a mid reddish-brown.

A cast copper alloy rectangular buckle, with an intact strap bar. The front surface of the buckle has bevelled edges, but the reverse is flat, resulting in a D-shaped section. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin is missing. There is no decoration on the buckle. The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal is a light greyish-green colour and is heavily pitted. This type of buckle dates from circa 1350 – 1700.

A cast copper alloy rectangular buckle, with an intact strap bar. One of the shorter edges of the frames has a cut away, into the frame, making the frame on that edge almost L-shaped. The frame is rounded and there is a curve in the frame, on the two longer edges, just before the shorter edge with the L-shaped section. This curve would have allowed the strap to sit better under the shaped edge of the frame. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin is missing. There is no decoration on the buckle. The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal i…

A cast copper alloy double looped asymmetrical buckle frame. The strap bar survives intact, terminating with projecting knops. A copper alloy chape extends from the strap end, terminating with a wire tongue, which has been wound into a loop. The chape has been attached to the strap bar, via two loops wound around the bar. In between the loops, a corroded lump of iron remains in situ. This would suggest that the pin (now missing) would have been made of iron and would have been attached to the strap bar, between the two loops. The copper alloy is heavily corroded and pitted. The b…
