Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double loop annular buckle, dating to the Medieval to Post Medieval periods (c. 1350-1650 AD). The remains consist of a thin circular frame and narrowed central bar, missing its pin and buckle plate. The frame has been compressed, probably from post-deposition activity, which has resulted in a bend in the central strap bar and a more oval appearance to the frame. The frame measures 46 mm long, 38.6 mm wide, 3.2 mm thick and weighs 7.64 grams.Annular buckles were used for an extended period of time and for a wide range of applications; therefore it is difficult to specifically date examples found outside of stratified archaeological context. For similar examples of annular buckles, cf. Whitehead 2003, pp44-45, esp. No. 253.
