Description: | Medieval (late 14th to 15th Centuries) buckle, brooch or suspension loop: The object is sub-circular in plan, with a rounded rectagnular cross section. On the frame there is iron corrosion which may have been from the pin originally. There is no evidence for a constriction in the frame for fitting of the pin or of a recessed pin rest. There is no evidence for incised or applied decoration on the frame of the brooch. The frame has a mid green-grey coloured matte patina. The brooch measures 17.48mm (external diameter), 2.61mm thick, and weighs 1.54 grams.Similar brooches have been recorded from excavations in London (Egan and Pritchard: 2002), Nos. 31 and No. 38. No. 38 has a larger frame but also has an iron pin. Egan and Pritchard (2002:57) comment that these frames, without constrictions for the pin are considered to be buckles, and those with a constriction are brooches and date to the late 14th to 15th centuries. A similar buckle has been recorded from Warwickshire; WAW-263F01.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002 Dress Accessories, c. 1150- c. 1450 (Medieval finds from Excavations in London) London: Boydell Press
