Description: | Medieval copper alloy annular buckle with copper alloy sheet pin. The buckle is triangular in profile with a flat back and ridge at the centre of the front; the bevelled sides to the front are slightly irregular with coarse file marks. The area where the pin is attached appears to be strightened slightly and possibly narrowed (it is mostly obscured by the pin). The pin is probably a home made replacement; it is made of a rectangular strip with one end bent 360 degrees around the frame. The remainder of the strip has the sides rolled inwards towards the back creating a tapering shape with a narrow blunt end. The frame is 26.6mm in diameter, 4.8mm wide and 2.2mm thick; the pin is 26.8mm long made of sheet 1.2mm thick; it weighs 5.46 grams.Egan (2008) illustrates a very similar buckle (p.87, no.424). This simple type was relatively long lived and could be c.1250-1500 in date.
