The object is a zoomorphic single-loop buckle frame which is missing its pin and the pin retaining bar. The frame is bent but was originally D-shaped with Borre-style animal heads at the ends of the bar and the mid point of the outer edge. The frame is D-shaped in cross-section and, although very worn, retains traces of stamped decoration along both edges (possibly stamped triangles). All three animal head knops have tapering, snub-nosed muzzles with large, rounded ears at the back, the ears have a central recess. The eyes of each are circular recesses. Between the eyes the details of the ridge of the nose and face are formed by linear grooves. The groove between the ears on the central head knop presumably forming the groove for the tip of the pin. The mouth has a transverse linear recess, with a shorter and shallower recess above, denoting the nose.

A post medieval copper alloy double loop oval buckle or sword belt hanger dating to c AD 1500-1630. This is a specialised type of spectacle buckle which was used to suspend a sword belt via a separate hooked fastener on the end of the strap. The sword belt hanger has a circular lateral suspension loop perpendicular to the frame. The frame comprises a double loop with a central bar. The loops have angled outer edges which creates a point half way along sides of the frame and at the top and bottom shoulders of the frame so that the top and bottom edges are both straight (apart from the suspension loop). The buckle is mid green and there is evidence of a dark brown patina on the surface suggesting it may have been black coated. The back of the sword belt hanger is undecorated and the frame edges are angles in towards the centre of the frame.

A medieval copper alloy buckle dating to c AD 1350-1450. The buckle is complete except for the strap plate and includes the pin. The buckle is D-shaped in plan with an short extension outside the centre of the frame at the top with a central groove to hold the pin. The D shape narrows to create an offset strap bar. The frame is angled so that the inner and outer edges of the frame create a decorative rib in the centre. The back of the buckle is undecorated. The pin has a large loop round the strap bar and as it curves around at the front, it is decorated with two raised ribs before gradually narrowing towards the tip. The underside of the tip has been shaped with a slight curve to fit into the groove. The strap plate is missing but there is evidence of wear at both sides of the strap bar where it was originally positioned. The patina is dark green, with some light green marks.

A copper alloy post medieval double loop buckle dating to c AD 1660-1720. The buckle is incomplete and has been damaged and squashed together with its plate. The remaining fragment comprises a semi-circular frame with a separate spindle which has been inserted through. It appears that the buckle was originally sub-annular but the second semi-circular part of the fram is incomplete. The frame is D-shaped in cross section and the sides of the frame are angled outwards towards the lower edge. There are the remnants of the plate or chape which comprises a single sheet of copper alloy folded over the spindle with a slot cut in the centre for the pin (which is missing). The upper edge of the plate is curved to about the size and shape of the buckle frame (this may have been the lower edge in use but is now framed by the buckle). The upper side (or possibly lower side in use) is heart shaped and terminates in the remnants of three stubs which may originally have been an anchor chape. There is a hole pierce through the centre of the heart shaped section the other side of the folded plate which presumably had a rivet which fixed the two parts of the plate together. There is evidence of gold plating over the buckle frame and the plate.
The buckle weighs 7.23g and measures 24.37mm in length, 29.42 in width and 7.82 in height.

A copper alloy medieval D-shaped buckle dating to c AD 1250-1500 (the radiating line decoration may make this buckle early medieval). The buckle is complete. Unusually the buckle is not made with a continuous frame as the pin attachment bar comprises two pieces of metal placed on top of one another. The buckle frame comprises a flat D-shaped piece of copper alloy. The frame is rectangular in cross section and narrows sharply towards the pin attachment bar to create a pin which is semi-circular in cross section. The inner corners of the D have small notches cut out which allows the two semi-circular pins to be bent inwards and placed one above the other to create a bar which is loosely circular in cross section. The front of the buckle is decorated with five pairs of incised lines radiating across the frame, and with the central pair creating the placement for the buckle pin. The pin comprises a single piece of copper alloy which is pointed and gradually flares out to create a flat plate which is folded over the pin attachment bar. The buckle weighs 2.79g and measures 20.99mm in length, 26.5mm in width and 1.19mm in thickness. The patina is mid green. Cf Whitehead, R, 2003, Buckles 1250-1800, Greenlight Publishing, Witham p 18, nos 40 and 42 (but neither has the unusual bar arrangement).

A medieval copper alloy T-shaped buckle of 13th- or 14th-century date. The buckle is complete and comprises a rectangular frame with an integral slot at right angles, and separate copper-alloy bar on which a copper-alloy pin hinges.
The frame is wide but short, and undecorated. It has a grooved pin rest in the centre of the outside edge. At the opposite side (the inside edge) there is a rectangular slot at right angles to the frame, which thickens to accommodate a hole for the separate bar. The pin hinges on the bar and fits snugly into the slot; its movement is limited by the fit of the frame. The pin is squared off at the point so that it is flush with the edge of the frame. The pin is square in cross-section but is stepped outwards on the underside, and on the top it is stepped up before curving downwards and shaped to match the profile of the frame.
Beyond the point where the pin is hinged, there is a short area of solid plate, rectangular in cross-section, which ends in a raised rib on the sides and top surface. Beyond the rib is a rounded loop with a circular hole pierced through it in the same plane as the rest of the buckle, i.e. from front to back.
There are some filing marks on the pin and on the frame. The reverse of the buckle is flat and undecorated. The patina is dark brownish green. The buckle weighs 9.87g and measures 37.64mm in length, 28.41 in width and the frame is 3.35mm thick.
Compare similar buckles NLM-369C73, SUR-C74125, SUR-1B596F, NMS-039367, DENO-4B97A8, WAW-B672C5, NARC-F0DCF6, etc. A pair of these buckles is recorded at NCL-5D3D67, with a copper-alloy wire link passing through their loops. Pairs of similar buckles, but with hinged ends rather than loops, are recorded at HESH-132E83 and BERK-703D40 still attached to swivels which can be dated to the 13th or 14th century. It seems likely that these buckles had a specialist use, perhaps as pairs on animal leashes.

A post medieval copper alloy buckle dating to c AD 1550-1650. The buckle is incomplete and is missing one of its oval loops. The buckle was originally a double loop oval buckle with moulded decoration on the loops. The remaining fragment of the buckle comprises the central bar, circular in cross section, which holds the remains of the pin. At either end of the bar the loop curves away. The loop is thinner than the bar. As the loop circles round it broadens sinuously to create a slight indentation on the inner edge and a soft point on the outer edge. In the centre of the loop, there is a line across the frame where the pin lay and there is a curving indentation on the inner edge of the frame opposite the soft point on the outer edge. The pin comprises a strip of copper alloy which is wrapped around the bar and which then tapers towards the point which is missing. The patina is dark green. This is an exceptionally large buckle.

A copper alloy medieval buckle plate dating to c AD 1250-1400. The buckle plate is from a single loop oval buckle with ornate outer edges, narrowed and offset strap bar. The buckle plate is incomplete and comprises a section of the top of the buckle plate and the remains of the two loops that would have folded over the strap bar. The fragment comprises a two short sections that would have folded over the strap bar and then widens to the outer edge. The outer edge gradually narrows towards the end of the plate. There are two rivet holes and the remains of a third (there were probably five rivet holes originally). There is an engraved zigzag border around the edge of the plate. The back of the plate is undecorated. There is evidence of gilding. Cf Whitehead, R, 2003, Buckles 1250-1800, Greenlight Publishing, Witham p23 no 105 (for the shape) and p24 no 114 (for the decoration).
