Description: | A Medieval annular buckle or brooch with a sub-circular sectioned distorted hoop with notches for a wire bar and a constriction for the missing pin. The bar and plate are also missing. The frame has a mottled green patina. This probable buckle is related to SWYOR-C23EA8, NMS-EEA8E2Z, SWYOR-495DC6 and NMS-5A36B4 which all have a wire bar added to the frame. A 13th or 14th century date is suggested.These buckles are probably related to the enigmatic disc-on-pin brooches described by Geake (Finds Recording Guide). They are often gilded copper alloy with a flat disc cast in one with the pin. This would have prevented them being used as a normal brooch as the disc stops the pin entering the fabric. Thought though to be medieval, the date range for these brooches can run into the 16th century.
