Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Medieval or Post Medieval white metal buckle, 25mm in diameter and 5mm thick. The object is in good condition with a silver/grey patina and weighs 2.19 grams. The object resembles a scalloped annular brooch and has a curved upper surface and a flat underside. Each curve has a small knop protruding from it and it has an irregular thickness, suggesting poor casting? The feature that identifies it as a buckle is the remains of a shaft with a semi-circular section, protruding into the centre of the object. Given its size it must be a purely decorative buckle.
