buckles

Buckles and Strapends Introduced into Britain in the 1stC by the Romans. During the Roman and Anglo Saxon periods buckles were used mainly by the military and social elite. Most buckles produced before the 13thC were regarded as status symbols and marks of social rank rather than as items of everyday dress

9thC Saxon or Viking silver engraved strap end 5.82g, 44.44mm L x 11.91mm W reported to museum as potential treasure found by Cal Shawn

Baffling find by Cal Shawn , 10.43g, 41.91mm L x 30.41 B x 9.94mm T - What appears to be a worn out D buckle is heavily decorated and has traces of red and yellow enamel remaining. It is possibly early medieval but the bronze rot suggests an earlier period but the style does not match - requires further investigation

Another great find - Roman figure on a cast copper alloy strap end, probably post Medieval 7.33g, 45.30 mm found by Ottawa Greg	Interesting strap end fragment with 17thC 'S' stamp		1250 to 1400 AD Medieval oval frame buckle with integral plate

Circa 1400 -1500 This is a facinating buckle as it has serrated left edge and decoration which I have not seen before. The flange is very wide. These are normally Medieval in date but this could be earlier as it has a large amount of rot.		Circa 1600 - 1700 spur buckle
