A copper alloy Roman (AD c.300-410) possible buckle plate. Overall, it measures 25.66mm long and 25.17mm wide, and weighs 5.65g. It is formed from a broadly quadrilateral plate with three loops projecting from one of the edges. The piercings of these loops are c.1.5mm in diameter and are aligned with each other parallel to the plate. The plate itself has two open work circles in it which are c.6mm in diameter. There are three rivet holes, each filled with iron corrosion product, arranged in a triangle, two on the side with the loops and one in the centre of the opposite side. The i…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy ring, undiagnostic, but plausibly a medieval annular buckle frame, of conventional module (c. 14th century AD). The frame consists of a ring of circular cross-section. There is a thinned and narrowed area at one point, which was perhaps provision for a pin; as no pin survives it is impossible to definitively classify this as a buckle. As there is neither a constriction nor a pin rest the artefact has been recorded (tentatively) 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 c…

A cast copper-alloy rectangular single-looped buckle of medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD 1400-1700). The buckle's rectangular frame has rounded corners on the outer edge. It is square in cross-section with some rounding to the outer edge. Looped in situ is a thick wire pin which has corroded in the same manner as the frame. The buckle's form is not diagnostic hence the large date range offered.

A damaged fragment from a cast copper-alloy rectangular double-looped buckle frame of medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD 1350-1700). The buckle would have had two rectangular loops that share a pin bar and retains a central, integral sub-rectangular tab on one side which has a sub-rectangular opening. This frame, including the tab is flat on both faces, other than some slight bevelling around the edges on the upper face. This fragment consists of much of one of the sides as demonstrated by a break at the return to the outer edge at one end; the other part of the side has been br…

A fragment from a late Roman cast copper-alloy openwork buckle plate. The fragment appears to be the corner of the plate at the frame end. The frame end is defined by a transverse ridge at the on the upper surface, towards one end of which is an integral loop. The loop is 6.05mm thick and perforated to take the axis bar around which the frame would have hinged. It is defined at its lower edge adjacent to the ridge by a transversely incised line; there is a further longitudinally incised line at the internal edge on the upper surface. The plate beyond the ridge has a flat lower surfa…

A damaged fragment from a cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date (17th century AD). The fragment consists of the pin bar with small parts of the flat sides emerging at one end. The pin bar has a double lobed knop extant at one end. It has a square cross-section and has been bent twice from opposing sides as a result of old damage. Orange/brown corrosion product at its centre suggests that the missing pin was made of iron. The object otherwise has a variable mid-/dark-green surface colour. A double-looped buckle with double lobed knops at the ends of the p…

A cast copper-alloy fragment probably from a post-medieval buckle. It is a rod broken at both ends which are also curved round slightly in the same direction. The lower surface is flat while the upper is decorated with moulded lozenges divided by trios of transverse ridge. The lozenges have the effect of being formed by cutting the corners from triangles. The artefact has corroded to a variable mid-green colour.

A corroded and slightly damaged copper-alloy single-looped buckle frame of medieval date. The frame is an elongated D shape oval with a narrow and offset bar; the pin is missing. The sides are rounded. There is a small triangular nick that acts as a pin rest at the centre of the outer edge on both surfaces. There is a small rectangular tab on the internal surface of the pin bar, possibly unfinished. This buckle has been distorted to one side in plan. The object has corroded to a variable mid-green colour. The form is unusual; most buckles of elongated D shape tend to have a knop on …

A damaged copper-alloy medieval sheet plate possibly from a medieval buckle. If this attribution is correct than half of the plate survives; it would have been created from a broadly rectangular strip twice the length. It is rectangular with a pair of neat perforations at the attachment end; neither rivet survives. There is some abrasion at this end which has broken into one of the holes. The other end shows hints of a central recess for a pin although this is unclear. Just in from this end is a perforation which retains a square sectioned rivet with hammered down end. The location …

A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date, complete with pin. The loops are oval and are bevelled both externally and internally on the upper surface; the former is far shallower. The lower surface is flat giving the frame a sub-triangular cross-section. At both ends of the pin bar is a pointed knopped protrusion. Loosely looped at the centre of the bar is a copper-alloy cast pin of semicircular cross-section. In profile one of the loops has been bent upwards on one side at an angle of c. 10 degrees. The buckle has a shiny, dark-green patina where it survives ove…
