Description: | A complete medieval copper-alloy annular buckle (dating from the 14th century). The frame consists of a ring of sub square section measuring 16.99mm diameter by 2.62mm thick. The wire pin is circular in section and has been looped round the frame and there is no pin rest. The artefact has therefore been recorded as a buckle rather than a brooch (see Egan and Pritchard 1991, 57). Many examples of annular buckles have been found in London in 14th-century contexts (ibid., 57-58; fig. 36). The buckle has a dark-brown patina.
