Title
Medieval buckle pin (probably)
Description
English: A complete cast copper-alloy pin now independent of its frame, probably from a medieval annular buckle. It is solidly cast, with a cross-section in the shape of a square with rounded corners. The complete oval loop is seemingly broken, but with the breaks adjoining suggesting that the brooch broke causing the pin's loss. There is a rectangular ridge (grip) at the end of the loop and the shaft. The grip is decorated with three transverse grooves (creating four ridges). The pin tapers to a rounded tip which does not feature the cutaway that others do. The object has now corroded to a dull, dark grey colour. The size of this object points to this being an example of a buckle pin as opposed to a brooch pin. There is an example illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 115; ref. 547) with similar grip (and a cutaway tip) dating to around the 14th century AD.
