Description: | A Medieval cast copper alloy annular buckle or brooch of 13th to 14th century date. The buckle or a brooch has a large, plain, circular frame which is oval in section. There is no decoration on either face of the frame and there is no constriction for the pin. The pin has also been cast and is looped around the frame. It is rectangular in section and tapers towards the blunt tip, which is worn by the frame. There is a grip with a single transverse groove near the loop.The frame has a diameter of 40.35mm and is 3.4mm thick. The pin is 44.6mm long. Together they weigh 13.85mm.Egan & Pritchard (1991, p.57) noted the difficulty of distinguishing plain annular brooches from buckles and decided to use the presence of a pin constriction on the frame to identify a brooch, categorising this example as a buckle.
