Description: | An incomplete and partially corroded Medieval copper-alloy annular buckle (c. 1250-c. 1450).The pin is missing.The frame has no restriction for a pin. Consequently, it has been classified as a buckle rather than a brooch (Egan and Pritchard 1991: 57). It is circular in plan, oval in cross-section and has a small area of wear, possibly created by the pin-tip.This buckle is generally mid-green with a shiny patina. The surface is corroded in places.Outer diameter: 40.2mm; inner diameter: 31.5mm; thickness of frame: 4.4mm. Weight: 10.56g.Similar buckles have been published (Egan & Pritchard 1991: 57, fig. 36, ref: 36; Whitehead 2003: 17. ref: 34).Egan, G. and Pritchard, F. 1991.
