Description: | Small copper-alloy annular brooch or buckle. The frame is circular and 26 mm in diameter; in cross-section it is oval, measuring 3 x 2.5 mm at most but varying quite a lot around the circumference. At one point it is particularly thin and narrow and this may represent the point of greatest wear from the pin. The pin is 26.5 mm in length; it is made from a piece of flat copper-alloy strip which is slightly greener than the metal of the frame. The pin is a maximum of 3 mm wide, with one end turned under to form the loop. The shaft of the pin tapers and bends slightly down into the frame and up again to sit nicely on the opposite edge. The frame is undecorated and there is no pin constriction, hence the identification of this object as a buckle rather than a brooch. Medieval, perhaps early in the period (12th century). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1100
