Title
BUCKLE
Description
English:

A complete Medieval copper-alloy annular buckle with copper-alloy pin, probably dating to c. AD 1200-1450.

The frame is circular in plan, and oval in cross-section, with no constriction for the pin. The frame is undecorated. The pin is formed of a copper alloy tube of mostly even width wrapped around the frame and extending from this loop to the far edge of the frame. it has a thick relatively dull rounded point while the loop is slightly thinner. 

The frame has an external diameter of 46.9mm the buckle as a whole weighs 28.0 grams.

Egan and Pritchard (1991: 57) suggest that annular rings with pins that do not have a pin constriction on the frame should be considered buckles rather than brooches. The publish a number of examples excavated from medieval contexts in London with cast pins or replacement sheet pins, with the type in general dating to 1270 to 1450 AD (ibid, 22).
