Description: | A cast copper alloy annular buckle. In plan, the brooch frame is circular and oval in section. The frame is undecorated. The surface of the frame has only fragments of its original surface remaining, but despite this the frame is in good condition. Only a fragment of the iron pin remains. This is curled around the frame and has since corroded onto the frame.
The buckle frame measures 26.32mm diameter and 3.58mm thick. Including the pin it is 29.68mm long. It weighs 4.97g.
Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan G. and Pritchard F. (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press), No. 31 and No. 38. No. 38 has a larger frame but also has an iron pin. Egan and Pritchard (2002:57) comment that these frames, without constrictions for the pin are considered to be buckles, and those with a constriction are brooches and date to the late 14th to 15th centuries. | 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: | 1375
