Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy annular buckle of Medieval to Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1350 - c. AD 1650). Outer diameter: 29.4mm; inner diameter: 20.8mm and 3.1mm thick. Weight: 6.11g.This buckle has a circular frame with a central narrowed and integral pin bar. However, the pin is missing. The frame is convex and the edges of the frame are internally bevelled. The bar is 'D'-shaped in cross-section with rounded corners and measures 3.2mm in width and about 2.0mm in thickness. On one outside edge of the frame a small 'V'-shaped pin rest is barely visible. There is no wear or staining at the centre of the bar where the pin loop would have been positioned.The rear face is flat and has traces of slight parallel grooves which are, perhaps, the result of filing. The surfaces have a patchy patina that varies in colour from khaki green to dark brown. Where a patina has not survived there are deposits of powdery bright green copper alloy corrosion products.It has been suggested that this style of annular buckle has a wide date range from c. 1350-1650 (Whitehead 1996, 44-45).
