Description: | A cast copper alloy annular buckle. In plan, the buckle frame is circular in plan and circular in section. The frame is undecorated. There is a pin curled around the frame which has a slight perpendical ridge across it where it is fixed to the frame. The edges are slightly bevelled and it tapers slightly to a blunt point. The surface of the frame is in fair condition and has a dark green patina. The buckle frame measures 24.26mm diameter and 3.19mm thick. It weighs 5.5g. Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan G. and Pritchard F. (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press), for example No. 28. 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. As a buckle it is commented that these may have been used on shoes. They date to the late 14th to early 16th century.
