Description: | A complete and partially corroded Medieval copper-alloy annular buckle (c. 1250-c. 1450).The frame has no restriction for the pin. Consequently, it has been classified as a buckle rather than a brooch (Egan and Pritchard 1991: 57). It is circular in plan, oval in cross-section and possibly due to wear, is thinner in one area. The copper-alloy pin has parallel sides with an open loop. On the upper face of the pin, between the loop and shaft, there is a transverse ridge which is barely visible. The shaft tapers in thickness from the loop towards its rounded tip.This buckle is drab greyish green with light green corrosion products. The surface of the pin is partially buff.Outer diameter: 30.1mm; inner diameter: 21.6mm; thickness of frame: 3.9mm; length of pin: 32.1mm; width of pin at loop: 3.1mm. Weight: 9.18g.Similar buckles have been published (Egan & Pritchard 1991: 57, fig. 36, ref: 36; Whitehead 1996: 17. ref: 34).Egan, G. and Pritchard, F. 1991.
