Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy double-looped annular buckle, circular in plan and plano-convex in profile. The upper face of the buckle is decorated with recessed rectangles at oblique angles, alternating with raised panels, but they are quite worn so that they look more ovate in sections. This creates an effect described by Margeson (1993, 28; ref.159), discussing a parallel, as 'castellated'. The central strap bar divides the annular frame into two D-shaped loops and still retains its pin. The pin is 24 mm long, 4 mm wide and 1.2 mm thick. The pin bar is trapezoidal in section with the narrower upper face flush with the frame, and measures 33 mm long, 3 mm wide and 3 mm thick. The buckle is bent and corroded and missing a section of the frame. There are traces of black lacquering on sections of the frame, but it is not clear id this would have covered the original surface of the buckle.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a very similar annular buckle on page 46, no.269, which is dated from the 1400-1500.Margeson (1993) illustrates a very similar annular buckle on page 29, fig.15, no.159, which is dated from 1400-1600.Similar buckles have been recorded on the database: IOW-3782F4; BH-237001; DEV-928128; ESS-EB4138; HAMP-9F0AF3; NMS-0DBEB4; NLM-7A0C67; PUBLIC-06CE75 and PUBLIC-CCC094.
