Description: | Medieval copper alloy buckle of annular type and of mid-13th to mid-15th century dateThe buckle frame is sub-circular and comparatively large (with an external diameter of 43.6mm - 44.8mm, an internal diameter of 37mm and weighing 12.0g) and is of oval section (3.6mm wide and 2.4mm - 3.0mm thick). Faceting on the inside of the frame may be the result of wear from a strap. There is no pin restriction on the frame or applied decoration. The pin is complete (with a length of 48.0mm) and has an open loop around the frame, now worn and is narrowest at the rear of the loop, widening towards the shaft (with a diameter of 9mm and a width of 3.6mm ) and with a four-ribbed moulding at its base. The pin shaft is of sub-rectangular section. The surface has a dark-grey patina, suggesting an alloy with comparatively high levels of tin or lead.
