Description: | A complete cast copper alloy annular buckle of medieval date. The buckle is small, circular in plan and cross section with no constriction for the pin. The object is undecorated and the iron pin remains in tact.The metal has a dark greenish-brown patina and is worn. The object is 18.7mm in diameter, 2.5mm thick and weighs 1.9g.Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead, p.16 and are dated to circa AD 1400 - 1600.Egan and Pritchard (p.64-65) state that "a constriction on a single frame to limit the movement of the pin is generally an indication of a brooch rather than a buckle" therefore suggesting this example is a buckle.
