An incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of probable Medieval to Post-Medieval date. One oval shaped frame and the pin are missing due to old breaks. The surviving frame is oval shaped in form, oval in section with an expanded outer edge. This has extensive moulded decoration comprising a series of six triangular projections with fluting between them and parallel transverse grooves on their front faces. The moulded outer edge is separated from the sides of the frame by transverse grooves. The integrally cast bar is rectangular in form and square in section. This buck…

A worn cast copper-alloy buckle frame of Post-Medieval date. The frame is annular in form with moulded decoration comprising a foliate outer edge and transverse grooves on the front face that give the buckle a five petalled flower form. At the centre of the frame is an integrally cast bar that is triangular in section and has a slight pin constriction at its centre. The entire object measures 29.32mm in external diameter, 17.95mm in internal diameter, 3.04mm in thickness and 4.75g in weight. This is an annular buckle of Post-Medieval date similar to examples from Norwich (e.g. Margeso…

A complete cast copper alloy buckle of medieval date. The object is a double looped annular buckle with two oblique projections extending from one loop, each decorated with three incised transverse grooves. The strap bar is narrowed and has been bent into a semi-circle. The metal has a light brownish-green patina and is worn. The buckle is 39.9mm long, 29.1mm wide, 3.3mm thick and weighs 7.3g. A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead, p.46, no.268 and is dated to circa AD 1400 - 1500.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, possibly a buckle frame of uncertain date. What appears to be the projecting pin rest and part of the frame survives intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The pin rest is flat, triangular in form and with a large central moulded groove. At its base it appears to curve outwards towards a frame before terminating in old breaks, the precise form of the frame uncertain due to old breaks. The front face of the object beneath the pin rest has moulded decoration comprising a curving band of S-shaped motifs. It measures 15.0…

An incomplete, corroded and damaged copper-alloy medieval sheet buckle plate. It is broadly rectangular in plan and all that remains is a single half, broken at the weaker tabs at the frame end and abraded through a perforation at the other. There is a central notch for the pin, which is flanked by two rectangular projections, the tabs, which would have folded round on themselves and extended into the other half of the fold. They provide a recess for the frame. The artefact has a mid-green patina with patches of off-white corrosion product. The attachment end has been bent downward…

A cast copper-alloy rectangular frame from a single-looped buckle or a clasp of medieval date. The frame has slightly convex sides, with transverse ridges in from each corner. The moulded outer edge is narrowed at its centre to possibly accommodate the original folding sheet or roller which has now been lost. The frame's bar is also narrowed and offset. As the plate (and pin) is missing it cannot be established whether this frame was from a buckle or a clasp. For rectangular buckle frames see Egan and Pritchard (1991, 96; fig. 61), and for clasps see ibid. (118; fig. 77). The frame ha…

A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of probably post-medieval date with pin and plate attached. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on the upper surface and on the pin bar; the lower surface is flat. The pin bar thus has a trapezoidal cross-section with the pin still attached (L.: 18.7mm), and with the sheet plate looped around it. The pin is of thick wire construction and has been bent to one side following old damage. It has corroded to a dull red/brown colour. The plate is formed of a s…

Several file marks are present. 30.81 x 27.03 x 2.56mm. Weight: 6.68g. Similar buckles have been published and dated c. 1350-1650 (Whitehead 1996: 53).

A copper-alloy buckle plate of Medieval date, c. 1150-1500. The buckle plate has been cut from a sheet of copper-alloy with two bands connecting each plate and holding the missing buckle frame in place and a central slot for the missing hinged pin. The plate front and reverse were riveted together by two rivets placed linearly in the centre of the plate. There are traces of leather or some other organic material between the front and rear faces of the buckle plate. A second sheet of copper-alloy also appears to have been fixed over the faces of the buckle plate. It is uncertain if t…

A complete medieval copper-alloy annular buckle (dating from the 14th century). The frame consists of a ring of sub square section measuring 16.99mm diameter by 2.62mm thick. The wire pin is circular in section and has been looped round the frame and there is no pin rest. The artefact has therefore been recorded as a buckle rather than a brooch (see Egan and Pritchard 1991, 57). Many examples of annular buckles have been found in London in 14th-century contexts (ibid., 57-58; fig. 36). The buckle has a dark-brown patina.

A cast copper alloy Early Medieval buckle dating from c. 900- 1100 AD. It is D-shaped in plan with a narrowed strap bar. The terminals of the loop are zoomorphic in form with the strap bar connecting two heads of animals; their mouths are open, almost as though they are biting the bar. These are stylised animals seen on various objects from this period and could be dogs/dragons/dolphins; it is difficult to see. They have a rounded head with inset eyes and an elongated snout. There is a transverse notch for the pin of the apex of the loop. The pin and plate are missing. The bu…

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.

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…
