Description: | A corroded but complete medieval copper-alloy annular buckle (c. 14th century AD). The frame consists of a ring of flattened circular section measuring 33.2mm in diameter by 2.7mm thick. The thick wire pin has a low rounded upper surface and a flat lower surface. There is a transverse triple ridge at its junction with the loop. The pin is simply looped around the frame; 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 variable green surface; the pin is of a different alloy, more red/brown in colour.
