A complete copper alloy double looped buckle, with zoomorphic decoration, of probable Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval dating (AD 1500 to AD 1650). The buckle consists of a double oval looped buckle (spectacle), with moulded transverse ridges on the frame as decoration. Projecting from one outer edge is a zoomorphic head. The head is triangular in shape, with pointed oval shaped eyes, and appears to be representing a bird's head. Part of the sheet copper alloy buckle plate is still present wrapped around the central bar. Iron corrosion products (from an iron pin) cover the buckl…

A cast copper alloy single looped D shaped buckle of medieval date (c.1350 to 1450 AD). The buckle frame is broadly D shaped in plan, with a broad D shape cross section. At the centre of the frame, a single angular pointed projection with a U shaped notch as pin rest is present. The strap bar is off set.

Gilded copper-alloy buckle plate. The central part is rectangular, with two folded-under hinge loops along one long edge, both now broken (old breaks). Slightly more of one hinge loop is missing than the other. A narrow waist in the centre of the other long edge separates the central part from a terminal. This is symmmetrical, with each half consisting of a subrectangular centre with crescentic end projections; the effect is that of a cow-horn or moustache shape. The upper surface is decorated with a series of engraved diagonal lines converging on the waist of the buckle plate. Rows…
