Description: | A complete late medieval large cast copper alloy annular buckle. The frame is circular in plan and elliptical in cross section and there is a platform on the pin. The only decoration on the buckle is on the pin platform and which comprises two deep diagonal grooves with a rope-effect patterning on one of the raised ribs. Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan G. and Pritchard F. (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press), for example No. 28. Egan and Pritchard (2002:57) comment that these frames, without constrictions for the pin are considered to be buckles and those with a constriction are brooches. This example will date from the late 14th to early 16th century.
