A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval plain double-looped buckle frame. The frame is missing one of its loops after an old break at the pin bar. The surviving loop is trapezoidal, with a flat lower surface and an upper surface which is bevelled externally. This gives the frame a triangular cross-section, while the pin bar is semi-circular in section. There is a knopped protrusion at each end of the pin bar. Traces of orange corrosion product at one end of the pin bar suggest that the pin may have been made of iron. The frame has a dark-grey surface where it survive…

A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of medieval to early post-medieval date. The frame was formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on the upper surface, the latter more shallowly; the lower surface is flat. The pin bar thus has a trapezoidal cross-section. The pin is now largely missing, apart from the orange/brown corroded mass, the remnant of the iron pin. The buckle frame has a variable mid-green colour but is mostly covered in off-white corrosion product. Buckles of this size…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval shoe or knee buckle. The buckle is rectangular in plan with rounded corners. It is bevelled externally on the upper surface and rabetted at the outer edge. The bevelling is echoed internally on the lower surface. There is a elongated 'C'-shaped moulding on the upper surface along the longer sides and extending into the internal side of the outer edge, terminating in a curl. Central expansions on the longer sides have been drilled to take the separate pin bar. This latter survives in situ; being made of iron it is highly corroded. There a…

Post medieval cast copper alloy double loop buckle frame. The frame has two oval loops with slightly widened outer edges. The front and back are bevelled and the front is decorated with a raised rim around the inner side of the loops and raised foliate patterns (the pattern is discribed by Whitehead (see below) as vine scroll). There are traces of a black lacquer around the patten. The strap bar is narrowed and recessed. It is very bent and now 45.9mm long, 31.3mm wide, 2.8mm thick and weighs 6.34 grams. Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar buckle (page 68, No.423) whi…

Post Medieval copper alloy double-looped oval buckle with an iron pin and separate strap-plate. The loops form one continuous oval outer frame and the outer sides of the loops are slightly widened. The outer edge is rounded and the inner edge and back flat and plain. The integral strap bar is plain. The iron pin is highly corroded but remains in situ. The strap plate is formed of a thin rectangular strip of copper alloy sheet bent in half around the central bar. It has a rectangular slot at the fold for the pin and both sides are borken with irregular breaks. It is 19mm long, 21.1mm i…

Post Medieval copper alloy double looped buckle. The frame is broadly rectangular in plan with the outer edges widening in width to pointed projections, forming triangular ends. The strap bar has a lobed knop at either end. Remains of iron corrosion on the strap suggests the pin, now missing, could have been made of iron. It measures 47.3mm in length, 23.7mm in width, 2.1mm in thickness and weighs 3.7g. Whitehead (2003; 82) illustrates a similar example with a wider frame, no. 512, which is dated 1250-1700 AD.

Post Medieval cast, copper alloy double-looped buckle. The pin survives in part and is a copper alloy strip bent around the strap bar, broken towards the tip which is now lost. The loops of the frame are sub oval and the strap bar is recessed. It measures 35.8mm in length, 25.9mm in width and 3.4mm in thickness. It weighs 6.7g. Whitehead (2003; 305), number 305, is a similar example, dated 1500-1650 AD.

Incomplete Post Medieval cast, copper alloy trapezoidal buckle. The frame widens from the strap bar forming a trapezoidal shape. There are rounded knops on the corners and the middle of the outer edge widens into a The buckle is broken to one side of the strap bar so that only one of the original two loops survives. The outer edge has rounded knops with a rounded triangular projection between. The strap bar has a lobed knop at either end. It measures 24.4mm in length, 21.1mm in width and 2.1mm in thickness. Whitehead (2003; 84), number 523, is a similar, more complete example, dat…

Post Medieval cast, copper alloy oval buckle with surviving chape and pin. The frame is drilled and the strap bar is separate, although survives in situ on this example. The buckle frame has moulded decoration; raised vertical lines crossed with diagonal lines either end of the strap bar with scroll work to the sides. The chape is 'D-shaped' with the centre of the curve projecting into an elongated knop which has a raised stud at the end. It is a Whitehead (2003; 96) type I. The reverse of the chape has 'IOHN BRADNOCK' stamped. The pin is triangular in shape. The buckle measures 47.7m…

Post Medieval cast, copper ally double-looped buckle. The frame is a pointed oval in plan with open work detail. The frame widens on the outer edge to form the pointed oval. Within the centre of the widest point of the frame is an openwork lozenge. The strap bar is recessed and there is a probable openwork drop shape at either end although it is difficult to tell due to the amount of dirt remaining on this example. The frame is indented to either side of the strap bar at both the top and bottom. The pin is missing. It measures 42.7mm in length, 25.7mm in width, 2.3mm in thickness and …
