Description: | A copper alloy Medieval annular buckle (or possibly a brooch) dating from about AD 1250 - 1400. The buckle frame is circular in plan and D-shaped in cross section and is plain. There is no constriction for the pin (see Egan and Pritichard's Dress Accessories, page 64 and 65 for a discussion of the differentiation of annular buckles and brooches). The copper alloy pin is made from wire which is bent round the frame. The buckle has a rough greeen patina. The buckle is 23.4mm diameter, 5.9mm thick and 3.54g. Compare examples on page 57 onwards of Egan and Pritichard (1991) which suggest a date in the late 13th or 14th century.
