Description: | A plain circular framed buckle made of copper-alloy. The frame of this buckle has a flat section, which has varying levels of wear. The measurements below relate to the circular frame of the brooch. The pin is still attached. The pin is 44.5mm in length, tapering from the widest point, which is 3.8mm thickness and 4.6mm width to approx. 3mm at the terminal. The pin has been attached to the frame with a loop attachment, which is not closed. The loop is also quite worn on the inner edge. The pin shaft is large and appears quite cumbersome. The shoulder of the pin has a decorative moulding on the upper surface of the pin at the junction of the loop and the shaft, just before it starts to taper to the terminal. The brooch is otherwise undecorated. The brooch is complete. The metal has a dark brownish-green patina. There are a few parallels in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, pp57-9. These types of brooches probably date to the 13th - 14th century and are therefore medieval.
