Description: | A small and complete Medieval cast copper-alloy annular buckle (c. 1250-c. 1350).The frame is sub-circular in plan and rectangular in cross-section with rounded corners. It is variable in width and has a maximum width of 2.44m and the minimum width is 1.71mm. One surface has a 'V'-shaped notch which doesn't seem to be a constriction for the pin or a pin-rest. The copper-alloy pin is made of wire and has an overall length of 14.98mm and a diameter of about 1.25mm.The frame has a patchy dark green patina and the pin is corroded and has no patina. The upper and lower surfaces of the frame have file marks.Maximum outer diameter: 13.71mm; thickness: 2.05mm. Weight: 1.11g.Similar buckles of form and size have been published (Egan & Pritchard 1991: 57, fig. 36, ref: 28; Whitehead 1996: 16. ref: 31).
