A corroded but complete cast copper-alloy post-medieval plain double-looped buckle frame with surviving pin. It is trapezoidal, with a flat lower face and an upper face bevelled both internally and externally. This gives the frame a trapezoidal cross-section. The pin bar extends beyond the edge of the frame and terminates at each end with a rounded knopped protrusion. The pin is of looped construction. Viewed in profile one can see that the buckle is bent. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 82; refs. 506, 507, 509).

A worn, corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The plain frame is formed of a pair of 'Ds' that incurve towards the pin bar; the pin is missing. On the upper surface the frame appears to be bevelled round the outer edge and also internally on the loops. The lower face is flat, giving the frame a sub-triangular cross-section (with rounded corners). 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 persists a…

A cast copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle frame. The frame is oval, with an expanded, rounded outer edge (Th.: 3.55mm). There is a notch at the centre of the outer edge which would have acted as a pin rest; it is flanked by three engraved lines on either side. Around a third of the pin survives, looped around the offset pin bar. The surface of the buckle is worn while the reverse of the buckle is seemingly flat.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date, no longer with its pin attached. There are decorative knops at each corner of the loops, and at either end of the pin bar. Central on each outer edge is a larger, moulded trefoil protrusion. The frame is seemingly internally and externally bevelled on the upper face. The reverse face is flat, giving it a trapezoidal cross-section (with rounded corners). The buckle frame is now worn with a mid/dark-green patina.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval 'locking buckle' frame. The frame is rectangular in plan, with rounded corners and the artefact has been bent, particularly on the long edges. The outer edge is thick (c. 5.51mm), flat and rabbeted (or notched) to accept and secure a U-shaped arm attached to the pin bar: the bar and the arm are both now missing. It also features an incised central logitudinal pin rest. In profile the sides are expanded to receive the off-centred pin bar. These buckles are well attested in the literature; recent published examples can be found illustrated in Egan…

A complete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date (c. 1650 - c. 1750 AD). The sides are incurved to a central pin bar now bent to one side. One edge is straight while the other is curved. The pin bar features central rectangular mouldings that retain the wire pin. The straight edge has a sheet roller which the pin rests against. The other outer edge is externally bevelled and moulded internally; this is echoed on the lower surface. A similar buckle can be found illustrated in Margeson (1993, 33; ref. 218). This was found in a late 17th-century context; a slightly…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval composite buckle frame with forked spacer. The oval frame has a pointed central knop on its outer edge. It is bevelled externally on both faces; these faces feature file marks. The corroded, narrow wire pin is in situ. The prongs of the spacer are triangular and diverge as they extend. One has been broken towards the tip. The object is now corroded with a dark-grey patina with patches of off-white and light-green corrosion product. The spacer appears to be recessed to accommodate the missing plates. Similar examples of this buckle type can be …

A damaged and incomplete copper-alloy post-medieval buckle plate. The plate was formed of one copper-alloy sheet, cut and bent over on itself. It is broken in half, at the point where it would have looped round the buckle frame. From the broken point it continues with plain rectangular tabs on either side before narrowing to a waist of 7.85mm. The trilobed terminal is slightly flared at 13.05mm wide. In addition to this hole at the terminal, present on the lower fold, there is another hole central with the widest points on both folds, this latter with a small perforation adjacent. The…

A corroded post-medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle. It is formed is a pair of conjoined oval loops; the sides therefore incurve. It is bevelled externally on the upper surface; the lower surface is flat. The pin bar is sub-trapezoidal in cross section. The thick sheet pin is broken with the fragment surviving looped around the pin bar. The buckle has a dusty green patina where it survives, over a red-brown metal. One of the loops has been squashed as a result of old damage and has been bent upwards at an angle of about thirty degrees.
