Title |
Late Medieval: Annular (ring) buckle |
||
Description |
English: Incomplete cast copper alloy annular buckle with central bar (sometimes known as a double looped buckle) of later medieval date (1350-1500). The frame of the buckle is complete being broadly sub-circular in plan with an irregular sub-rectangular cross section. The edges of the brooch are faceted and filed with heavy diagonal strokes (these are best observed on the reverse. An integrally cast bar divides the buckle evenly into two parts, this axis bar has am iron concretion attached to it, presumably the remains of a broken iron pin. The iron corrosion has stained much of the lower part of the buckle suggesting that much of the pin was attached when lost and subsequent decay in the soil. It is likely that the pin was attached to the axis bar by a loose fold. There is no evidence for a constriction within the frame or a recessed pin rest to which a pin would fit, although there is evidence of a deliberately flattened area on one edge positioned centrally.
The buckle frame measures 32.6mm length, 29.2mm width is 2.4mm thick. The internal diameter 21.9mm and it weighs 6.72 grams. The decoration on the upper face is relatively simplistic being formed of cast geometric patterns augmented by filing. This has been applied to the two outer edges opposite the axis bar. In both cases a series of small irregular scallop-like notches have been removed to create an irregular undulating edge. Clear file marks are present within the grooved notches and further broad file marks are present on the reverse. The reverse face of the buckle is plain and undecorated. The buckle is a mid green colour with a slightly abraded but polished patina. The patina has been abraded by movement in the ploughsoil and this has also slightly distorted / twisted the brooch frame. Similar buckles have been recorded in Whitehead p46 (especially example 265) and are dated to the later medieval period (1400-1500). |
