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…

A fragment from a cast copper-alloy post-medieval buckle, probably a shoe buckle: it bowes. The frame would have been rectangular with rounded corners; less than half of the buckle remains. The pin, now missing, would have been joined to the frame at two centrally drilled holes along its width; half of one of the holes is present on the fragment. The frame is raised around the spindle hole. The buckle is moulded on its upper surface, with a slightly rebated border. In each internal corner is an arc that terminates in a circle within which a punched ring-and-dot motif. The circles prot…

A cast copper-alloy asymmetrical double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date. One loop of the buckle is rounded, with two projecting lobed knops, top and bottom, and the other half is rectangular, with five equally-spaced transverse notches on the outer edge which form six lobed knops. At each end of the pin bar there is a further lobed knop. The pin is now missing; iron staining around the pin bar and outer edge reveals the pin's composition. The buckle has a flat reverse, while the upper face is bevelled both internally and externally to the loops. The tinning on the buckle ha…

A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of medieval to early post-medieval date. 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, the latter more shallowly; the lower surface is flat. The pin bar thus has a trapezoidal cross-section. The pin is now missing. The buckle frame has corroded to a variable mid/dark-green colour. Buckles of this size with double oval frames have been found in late medieval contexts (cf. Egan and Pritchard 1991, 82-83; refs. 332-333), but as the form persi…

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…

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.
