Description: | Cast copper alloy annular brooch or, more likely, buckle frame dating from the middle or later medieval period, i.e. c. AD1200-1500. The buckle frame was roughly circular and ecorated with four moulded and grooved knops set at uneven intervals around the frame. The moulding is only pronounced on the obverse and there are no grooves on the reverse. The pin is now missing and the frame is very worn.It has been proposed that on a brooch frame, the pin would have been allowed to ride freely around the frame whilst, on a buckle frame, the pin was meant to be in one place with the pin rest at the opposite end. According to this, it is more likely that this is a buckle frame.
