Title
Buckle pin (profile).
Description
English: A cast copper alloy buckle or brooch pin. The pin is a sub-rectangular in plan which tapers to a blunt point. In profile the pin has a loop formed by the terminal curling around and then the pin tapers in depth to the blunt point. The upper surface, as the curled loop starts, is decorated with a single transverse linear ridge. The pin has a brown patina. It measures 38.23mm long, 4.48mm wide and weighs 3.5g.

These types of pins are found with annular buckles, some of which are illustrated in Egan G. and Pritchard F. (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press), for example No. 28. Egan and Pritchard (2002:57) comment that these frames, without constrictions for the pin are considered to be buckles, and those with a constriction are brooches. As a buckle it is commented that these may have been used on shoes. They date to the late 14th to early 16th century. In Ottaway (Ottaway, P. and Rogers, N. 2002 Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Finds From Medieval York York Archaeological Trust and CBA) there is a similar example, No. 14336, which is dated to the 14th century.
