Cast circular buckle frame, with central bar set back from the frame. The frame has a 'D' shaped cross-section and is decorated on its upper surface with a single incised line forming a chevron motif. The central bar is thin (c. 1.5mm diameter) and is slightly bent. There is an area of iron corrosion near one of the ends of the bar, suggesting the now absent pin was of iron.

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…

Late Medieval copper alloy buckle of 15th century date The buckle is incomplete, missing the majority of the frame and the back-plate (with a length of 55.5mm and a weight of 10.4g). The frame was likely to have been of oval form (with a surviving length of 10.0mm and a surviving width of 30.2mm) and is of sub-rectangular section (3.7mm wide and 3.2mm thick) decorated, at least on the sides with transverse grooves. The circular-sectioned copper alloy pin survives (with a length of 33.5mm and a diameter of 2.5mm), secured in an oval aperture behind the frame, where the buckle narr…

An incomplete copper alloy Medieval buckle dating to c. AD 1350-1400. The object consists of a sub-rectangular buckle frame and plate. The frame (25mm length, 16mm width) is a single loop type with a recessed bar and extended outer edge which is rounded at the end. The outer edge is semi-triangular in cross section and decorated with a chevron dividing the surface into two panels of incised grooves; the first with six crudely equidistant straight grooves, and the second with four larger and slightly diagonal grooves flanking a raised central lip. The folded plate (26.6mm length, …

A fragment of a copper alloy Medieval buckle frame probably dating to c. AD 1350-1400. The object was likely originally a single loop D-shaped buckle frame with a curved, widened outer edge. The break on the wider outer edge is likely at the central pin rest. The fragment is roughly D-shaped in cross section with a slightly convex reverse surface and a wider, flat obverse. The obverse surface of the fragment is decorated with incised lines in geometric patterns including two triangles facing in opposite directions on the outer edge (inward facing) and curve (outward facing). Diagonal …

Medieval copper alloy buckle frame The cast buckle is of oval form, with elaborate outside edge and is missing the pin and any associated plate and now has a distorted bar (with a length of 18.0mm, a width of 22.5mm and a weight of 2.0g). The outside edge is expanded (5.0mm wide and 3.1mm thick) and narrows at the position of the missing pin. The top face is decorated with cross hatched incised lines and the decoration appears to extend onto the sides of the frame. The sides are oval sectioned (1.4mm x 1.0mm). The bar is narrowed and now extends into the buckle frame, probably be…
