Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy annular buckle of Medieval or Early Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1250 - c. AD 1650). Outer diameter 42.8mm, width 5.0mm and 3.4mm thick. Weight 12.65g. The pin is missing.The frame is circular in plan and has a central bar forming two D-shaped loops of equal size. The front of the frame is convex and the inside edge is bevelled slightly. The rear face of the frame is flat. The bar is triangular in cross-section, flat at the rear. It is 3.0mm wide and 2.4mm thick. The bar is arched upwards at the centre. At the centre of the bar, on all three faces, there are flecks of iron corrosion which may indicate that the missing pin was made of iron.The buckle frame is corroded overall and the frame has a number of transverse parallel grooves in places. However, it is unclear whether these were intended as decoration or were created as a result of filing or fettling.
