A medieval copper-alloy T-shaped buckle of 13th- or 14th-century date complete with pin, but broken at the attachment end. The frame is rectangular with squared corners and edges and an open central rectangular projection at the centre of one of the long edges creating the vertical bar of the T. This projection extends into a short length of solid rectangular plate ending in a very thin ridge around the front and sides beyond which is an integral circular loop with a broken outer side. The reverse is flat throughout and the front of the main rectangular loop of the frame is also flat.…

Fragment of a cast copper alloy two loop bucke. A rectangular section stem or shank which extends between two flat elements with, in so far as they remain, curved edges, and both bearing a rayed pattern of grooves converging on the stem. Rusty stains on the central shank hint at the former presence of a ferrous metal component. This identification was kindly offered by Laura Burnett, with confirmation of this offered by Rob Webley, who comments as follows: 'This looks like the pin bar of a post-medieval buckle, the rust from the missing iron pin. Cf. Whitehead (2003, 65; e.g. no. 402)…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk

A large buckle which appears to be one half of a double-loop frame. It has a moulded possible trefoil at either end of the narrowed circular-section bar, and a very elaborately decorated outside edge. In the centre of the outside edge is a crown, to be viewed with the edge downwards, in relief and emphasised by six small apertures. Flanking the crown, two recessed fields may once have been inlaid. Scrolled mouldings project from the edge and the sides. It measures 29 x 44mm. Although some lack of symmetry is the result of poor casting rather than damage, this is a most unusual p…
