Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle (probably), possibly dating to the Roman period although it could date to the Medieval period. The object consists of a rounded corner of the frame, the bottom of which swells outwards before narrowing to a double banded moulded constriction. The reverse of the object is slightly concaved, and there is no decoration anywhere on the object. The object is broadly similar to some zoomorphic buckles of the late Roman period (Hawkes & dunning 1961), but no direct comparison could be made, hence the uncertainty of date.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy annular buckle dating to the medieval period. The buckle is unusual in that it retains a buckle plate, which is formed from a single sheet of copper alloy wrapped around the pin bar.There is a recess in the buckle plate for the pin and two rivets at the back of the plate to secure it to a strap; one iron rivet is retained. The buckle itself is annular without any decoration, although the reverse shows evidence of filing. The pin, a simple copper alloy bar wrapped around the pin bar, is intact. This style of buckle dates from c. AD 1250-1350.
