Copper alloy buckle frame dating from the post-medieval period, c. AD1620-80. Trapezoidal double looped buckle with a pointed triangular outer edge flanked by knops and a knop at the end of its strap bar (cf Whitehead 1996 no. 520). An incised line follows the inside of the outer edge, and is intersected by another which crosses it at right angles, perhaps marking a pin rest. A grey tint may suggest the buckle was tinned overall. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1620-1680.

Copper alloy buckle dating from the later post-medieval or early modern period, that is c. AD1660-1720. The buckle is incomplete: only the frame remains: the central spindle and pin are missing. They have been made from iron/rolled sheet and thus, being more fragile, have corroded away/ broken off. The buckle frame itself is rectangular in shape, with rounded off corners, and flat oval in cross-section. The frame is undecorated except for some floral moulded and moulded knops to the left and right of the central axis bar.

Slightly damaged cast copper alloy spectacle or double-loop oval buckle frame that is plano-convex in section with a bevelled inner edge and a recessed pin bar with moulded knops at either end of the bar.

The central strap fitting is still present, folded around the spindle. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar example on page 54, No.308, which is dated from c.1500-1650.

Cast copper alloy sub-rectangular single loop buckle with concave sides with bifid mouldings and a narrowed strap bar. The pin is missing. The front of the buckle has a moulded pin notch consisting of a hollow raised V-shape with oblique grooves on either side of the V. There are a few patches of black lacquer surviving on the upper surface of the frame suggesting that the buckle was coated to protect it from corrosion during wear. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a very similar example on page 28, no.146 which is slightly smaller but has the same decoration and moulded pin notch. He…
