BUCKLE

Unique ID: NMGW-E736C1

Object type certainty: Probably
Workflow status: Published Find published

Annular ring of copper alloy. This is likely to be a simple annular or oval buckle frame of Medieval date, probably 13th –15th century. The ring is plain with a simple notch on one face to house the pin. The frame is expanded at the point of the notch. The profile of the frame is generally ‘D’ shaped. It is often difficult to distinguish buckles of this type from simple brooches, and there remains a possibility this item is a plain annular brooch.
