Description: | A complete copper-alloy circular buckle frame without pin constriction. The frame is circular in plan, oval shaped in section and undecorated. A small portion of the pin survives intact. This comprises a short section of cylindrial copper-alloy wire that is folded around the frame of the buckle and terminates in old breaks towards the pointed end of the pin. The entire buckle measures 16.38mm in internal diameter, 22.89mm in external diameter, and weighs 3.60g. The lack of constriction around the pin suggests this is a buckle frame rather than an annular brooch, although it should be noted that if the pin was missing it would be impossible to tell whether this was either a buckle or brooch in the first instance. Circular buckle frames like this are recorded from Medieval London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: pp. 58, in particular nos. 31, 44). These are dated to the Medieval period of the 13th to 15th centuries AD.
