Title
IOW-3782F4 Medieval Annular Buckle
Description
English: An incomplete Medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped annular buckle (c. 1400-c. 1500). The pin is missing.

The frame is circular in plan and has a central integral narrowed strap bar forming two similar sized 'D'-shaped loops. Its front surface is decorated with raised and sunken panels that alternate around the inner and outer edge of the frame. This creates an effect described by Margeson (1993, 28; ref. 159), discussing a parallel, as 'castellated'. The bar is trapezoidal in cross-section, narrower at the top than at the bottom.
The buckle has a coarse green patina overall.
Height: 47.73mm; width: 47.26mm; thickness: 3.21mm. Weight: 13.67g.
A similar buckle has been published (Whitehead 1996: 46, ref: 269).
Similar buckles have been recorded on The Portable Antiquities Scheme database. See finds: BH-237001; DEV-928128; ESS-EB4138; HAMP-9F0AF3; NMS-0DBEB4; NLM-7A0C67; PUBLIC-06CE75 and PUBLIC-CCC094.
