An incomplete forked spacer plate from a small medieval cast copper-alloy composite buckle. A worn and plain sub-oval frame with central pointed lip including triangular pin rest. The edges of the frame are thick at c. 5mm, and are probably bevelled (see notes, below). There is a notch in the frame which would have held the pin (now missing). The forker spacer continues for c. 7.5mm. Each prong has possibly been broken at this point following old damage. The plates have been lost. Such buckles are often found in fourteenth-century contexts.

Cast copper alloy buckle chape / strap end union from a two part buckle of later post-medieval date (1600 - 1720). The chape is formed from a single sub-rectangular cast copper alloy sheet. This sheet has been cut and folded around an iron (due to the orange staining from iron corrosion) axis bar to form both the pin of the buckle and the hinge to attach the pin to the buckle. The rear of this sheet has been cut to form a tapering and expanding design, with a rounded terminal. Through this terminal a single cast copper alloy rivet is passed to secure the buckle to a leather strap. The …
