Description: | A Medieval brooch or buckle, annular in form and made from cast copper alloy. The pin is also cast and has been attached by looping the end around the frame. Medieval brooches and buckles of this type are usually distinguished according to whether there is notch to constrict the movement of the pin (brooch) or if the pin can move around the frame unrestricted (buckle). This information is not clear from the photograph or rally record. The object is very small (13.4mm in diameter), and examples of brooches and buckles similar in size and form are illustrated by Egan & Pritchard, dated around 1270-1350 (Dress Accessories 1150-1450, p. 57, 58, 249).The object is in fair condition, with some pitting of the surface due to corrosion.
