Title
late Medieval - early Post Medieval lead alloy annular buckle
Description
English: A late Medieval - early Post Medieval lead alloy annular buckle dating 15th - 16th century. The buckle has a circular buckle frame with a central cross-bar. The frame is decorated with a raised, bevelled band along the centre of the frame and beading around the edge. The cross-bar has a central groove to secure the pin. The iron wire pin is missing.

Several similar examples have been excavated in London, Egan & Pritchard (1991:66-7) write that the numbers suggest these were a standard form for London and they are not readily paralleled elsewhere. The authors suggest a 15th century date and note these buckles were for shoes but just how this new fashion related to the longer established, smaller plain-circular form of shoe buckle is not clear. Egan (2005:34 no.82) illustrates another which comes from a context dated AD1550-1600.

Dimensions: diameter: 23.17mm; weight: 4.15g

Similar examples are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database e. g. LON-7A4E36
