Description: | A circular copper-alloy buckle frame with a central bar and pin attached. The buckle frame measures 22 mm in diameter. It is bevelled on both of its front and reverse. The pin is comprised of a thin strip of copper alloy, bent to form an attachment loop on the buckle bar and fashioned to a point at one end. It is similar in appearance to an example given in Egan and Pritchard (1991), page 66, although that example is slightly smaller in diameter. Egan and Pritchard suggest that such buckles were used for spurs during the late-medieval period. This example probably dates to the mid 16th century.
