Description: | A small medieval circular buckle cast in copper alloy. The frame is openwork with separate pin extant. The former is undecorated and features a couple of circumferential losses, although it is unclear as to whether they were related to the pin; they seem neither able to retain pin loop nor tip. As such, Egan and Pritchard (1991, 248) would classify this artefact as a buckle rather than a brooch. The tapering pin (L.: 18.1mm) is of folded sheet construction: looped at one end to secure it to the frame and bent in on either side of the underside. The dating of this undiagnostic buckle is problematic; Egan and Pritchard (1991, 57) note that a buckle of this size dating to the late 14th or 15th century is likely to come from a shoe. | 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: | 1270
