A cast copper-alloy pin now independent of its frame, probably from a medieval annular buckle. It is solidly cast, with a cross-section in the shape of a rectangle with rounded corners. The oval loop appears intact, simply moved apart, slightly to one side, freeing it from the frame. There is a simple rectangular ridge at the junction of the loop and the shaft. The pin tapers slightly to a squared off, blunted tip, recessed slightly on its underside. The object has now corroded to a mid-grey colour with some fine diagonal file marks. Similar examples of pins illustrated in Ega…

A bent and corroded cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. The frame is formed of a pair of ovals which incurve towards the pin bar. The upper surface is decorated by moulded vine scroll ornament cast within a sunken field. There are perhaps two lis facing inwards at the centre of each outer edge. Buckle with similar ornament can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 68) where they are dated to the period 1550-1650 AD and also on this database HAMP-091C57. The upper surface of the artefact is bevelled; the …

A copper-alloy frame from a medieval to post-medieval single-loop buckle. The frame is rectangular in plan and has a hexagonal cross section.There is evidence of pin-wear on the pin-rest part of the frame, but the pin itself is now missing. Marshall, in his web article Buckles Through the Ages, suggests that square or rectangular single-loop buckles (His type reference 1K) date from 1275-1500+ and that most of them would have been used on horse harness. The more modern variety of horse harness buckles are typically round in section, often with laterally offset strap bars. The buckl…

A slightly worn and corroded, complete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date. The frame is formed of a pair of 'D's that incurve towards the narrowed pin bar, the pin bar has two small protruding knopped mouldings. The pin survives although its tip is missing. On the upper surface the frame is bevelled round the outer edge. This bevelling is paralleled internally on the lower surface, other than on the pin bar which therefore has a sub-triangular cross-section. The loops of the buckle are not fully symmetrical. One has transverse notch at the centre of th…
