Description: | An incomplete copper alloy annular buckle, of Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval dating (c.1350 to 1650 AD).Around 50% of the buckle frame is present. The strap plate and pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The frame is sub circular in plan, and rectangular in cross section. The front of the frame consists of a central bar, D-shaped in cross section, surrounded by a circular frame. A narrowing is present at the centre of the central bar, probably to retain the pin. The exterior edge has been bevelled. The back of the buckle frame is plain.The buckle is a mid to dark green colour with an even patina. The buckle measures 19.9 mm in length, 24.1 mm wide and 2.7 mm thick. It weighs 2.3 grams.Similar buckles are depicted in Whitehead (2003, pp. 47, No 251-263) dated from c. 1350 to 1650 AD.Reference:Whitehead, R. 2003. Buckles 1250-1800. Greenlight Publishing, Witham.
