Description: | A cast copper-alloy annular buckle with wire pin from the medieval period, Circa AD 1270-1350.The circular frame has no constriction for the pin and appears to be roughly cast. In section the frame is slightly eliptical. The drawn wire pin is distorted and terminates to a dull point. The object has a degraded green patina.Diameter of frame: 13.80 mm. Thickness: 1.83 mm Weight: 0.769 gramsReference: Egan G and Pritchard F, 1991, Dress Accessories, Plate No 28. Ceramic phase 9, ( AD 1270-1350)G. Egan notes "the function of the earlier small buckles is uncertain". It would seem due to the fragile construction they were possibly designed for a light clothing material.
