Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast iron annular buckle with iron pin. The frame is circular with a sub-circular cross section. There is a crack across the frame and corrosion fills the space. There is no evidence for a constriction within the frame of the buckle to which a pin would fit and so it appears the pin would have moved freely around the frame. The wire pin terminates with a tapered point at one need and a loop around the frame at the other end. The pin is has a sub circular section. The entire buckle has been affected by corrosion. The length of the pin is 16.25mm.
