Distorted fragment of a large medieval copper alloy buckle frame, a straight outside edge of almost flat cross-section with a small part of both sides. On the gently convex front face there is a pin groove and, near both junctions with the sides beyond which the edge projects very slightly, there is a pair of narrow grooves, It is uncertain whether the buckle was single-looped (cf. NMS-3CAD39) or double-looped (cf. NMS-886894). Weight 5.81g. Width and thickness of edge 39mm and 2 - 2.4mm. Extant length 18mm, of which the edge accounts for 9.5mm. Mid 14th - mid 15th century.

Heavily eroded medieval copper-alloy pin from a buckle or brooch. It is plano-convex in cross section and appears to be mostly complete, except for extensive surface loss and pitting. The loop is either bent open (currently curving around 180 degrees) or is incomplete: probably the former, since its terminal tapers to a fine point (in thickness) and does not appear to be broken. The shaft tapers in width uniformly from the base of the loop to a point at the opposite end. There is no trace of a collar. 13th to 14th century. Length: 49.5mm. Width: 6.1mm. Thickness (at base of shaft): 4.…

A cast copper-alloy Medieval single loop 'D'-shaped buckle, dating to c.AD 1200-1400.   Description: The D-shaped frame has steeply sloping surfaces and reaches its maximum width at the centre of the outer bar, with the axis bar being offset. The frame is undecorated and the pin is missing. Measurements: Length: 20.72 mm; Width: 13.7 mm; Thickness: 4.11 mm and Weight: 2.28 g. Discussion: This buckle is dated to the Medieval period due to the similarities in Whitehead (2003), No.54 and see also OXON-2D163D on this database.

An incomplete medieval cast copper alloy single loop trapezoidal buckle with an integral plate, which tapers back in line with the sides of the frame and has incised dot-in-annulet motifs either side of a hole for the pin with a small (incomplete) rivet hole behind.

Copper alloy buckle plate. Cast openwork buckle plate with the strongly three-dimensionally moulded openwork image of a maned lion walking left, hollowed behind. The mane and the sides of the mask are rendered with broad cuts and the hind limbs and tails are much more angular than is usual with the proto-heraldic examples of this form. A hand-cut zig-zag incised border frames the motif, which also has a drilled fixing hole at the lion’s rump. A slotted and folded tab projects at the outer end of the plate to clasp a buckle frame [lost]. The heavy moulding tends to suggest a Roman…
