Title
IOW-26FD92 Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) Buckle Pin
Description
English: An incomplete Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) buckle pin (c. AD 575-625).

The loop is missing.
This pin is a 'shield-on-tongue' type. The integral plate over the pin is shaped like a violin. It is flat on the upper face with bevelled edges and flat on the underside. In plan, it has a rounded end then a waist formed by two rounded cut-outs (opposite each other), then a ridge at each side. The missing loop was made of iron and the remains of it can be seen embedded on the underside where there is also iron staining. The shaft of the pin tapers in width and the tip down-curves at an angle of 90°.
The surfaces generally have a silvery appearance.
31.34 x 14.41 x 4.82mm. Weight: 5.63g.

These pins are characteristic of late 6th and early 7th-century.
