The rear of the folded plate is narrower than the face, with a width of 14.59mm. The face is decorated with a rocker-arm or zigzag border, outside a square panel defined by incised lines. On the interior of the panel is an incised spiral. The incised square and spiral contain…

Medieval copper alloy buckle, dating from the mid-14th to the mid-15th century The buckle comprises an oval, lipped frame with a folded sheet plate. The buckle is near-complete, missing some of the pate and the end of the pin (with an overall, distorted length of 33.7mm and a weight of 2.7g). The oval frame (with a length of 17.8mm and a width of 19.1mm) is of trapezoidal section on the outside edge (2.9mm thick), becoming sub-rectangular on the sides. The lip has a prominent notch for the pin. The bar is narrowed and offset. The pin is of circular, tapering section (2.1mm maximum dia…

Part of a cast copper alloy, single loop buckle with a sub-triangular frame and a narrowed offset strap-bar. The strap-bar is now missing. The missing strap-bar would have accommodated the buckle's pin and possibly also a sheet metal buckle plate. A groove on the front of the buckle's frame shows where the pin rested; this feature is probably the result of wear rather than a deliberately cast notch. The buckle is also slightly distorted. Width 55mm, length 21mm, weight 9.5grams (NB dimensions follow those defined by Egan and Pritchard 1991, 56, fig.35). Medieval closer dating of this …

Cast copper alloy single loop D-shaped buckle with a frame embellished with an ornate outer edge, and a narrowed and offset strap bar. The outer edge of the frame has a notched lip flanked on either side by a pair of transverse knops. Egan and Pritchard have published a close parallel, recovered from excavations in London, which dates to c.AD1350 to c. AD 1400 (1991, 73, no.297). A broadly comparable date for the St Nicholas buckle is not unreasonable.

This item could have been utilised as either a buckle or a brooch. It is constructed of an annular frame with a decorative projection on the opposite end of the frame to the pin constriction. The frame has a flattened D-shaped cross-section and is generally wider and thicker at the pin constriction and at the projection. The decorative projection is lozenge-shaped and consists of V-shaped moulding before a centrally faceted terminal, and may represent a crude animal head or possibly a flower, elsewhere the frame is plain.

Medieval copper alloy buckle of annular type and of mid 13th to mid 15th century date The buckle frame is near-circular (24.5mm - 45.4mm external diameter, 34.2mm - 35.2mm internal diameter and weighing 16.9g) and is of faceted, sub-oval section (4.1mm - 5.3mm wide and 4.3mm - 5.2mm thick). Faceting on the frame may be the result of wear from a strap. There is no pin restriction on the frame. The pin is incomplete (with a surviving length of 30.5mm) and has an open loop around the frame, now truncated and is narrowest at the rear of the loop, gradually widening towards the shaft (w…
