Description: | Medieval copper alloy single-loop buckle with a plain circular frame. Its diameter is 35mm (internal 25.5mm) and it weighs 12.39g. The circular frame is 3.5mm diameter in section. At one point on the internal surface it has three very deep grooves. These presumably are to hold the pin still, and because of their crude nature (different sizes and at different angles) may have been executed by the wearer and not the maker. The pin is complete and 36mm long. In section the shank measures max.3.5mm, min.2.5mm x max.4mm, min.3mm. In section the pin is pentagonal, the underside being flat. It is covered in tooling marks. The loop around the frame is a 3/4 circle. it has a ridge where it extends into the shank. Single-loop buckles differ from annular brooches in that there is no constriction to hold the pin. Although the grooves on this example suggest this, the end of the pin is too thick and chunky to have been worn on clothing, and it is more likely it secured a strap. 12th-14th century. Cf.
