Title
late Medieval lead alloy annular buckle
Description
English: A late Medieval lead alloy annular buckle dating to late 14th - early 15th century. This buckle has a circular frame with a circularcross-section and a casting seam around the edge. There is a slight constriction to accommodate the pin and a groove opposite for the pin rest. The pin is made from a short length of iron wire, wrapped around the buckle frame for attachment. The shape of the frame has been slightly distorted.

Similar buckle are illustrated in Egan & Pritchard (1991:57) where they are described as shoe buckles and they were excavated from contexts dating late 14th - early 15th century and in Egan (2005:34) dated 1650-1700, however this is described as residual. Egan (2005:34) writes "shoe buckles are first continued with the two standard late medieval forms (as this above example) with a hiatus in the early 17th century before the new post-Restoration fashion of slightly larger, sub-rectangular frames with a plate".

Dimensions: diameter: 16.35mm; weight: 1.61g.
