Description: | Medieval copper alloy ring buckle dating from the 13th-14th century AD. Some are difficult to differentiate from ring buckles, but brooches normally have retaining shoulders for the pin wheras buckles do not. More likely to be a buckle this one as it has no mounting for the pin. Evidence indicates that they were used to secure belts at the waist or thigh. The frames are usually of slightly irregular thickness and pins are very robust with a blunt tip. The slight bunching of the material around the frame would have given the strap extra strength. It is 40mm in diameter, 4mm thick, the pin is 44mm long and the buckle weighs 15.08g.
