Title
Medieval buckle pin
Description
English: A cast copper-alloy pin of Medieval date (c. 1250 - c. 1400), with an oval loop at one end, which has become detached from an annular buckle or possibly brooch. The pin is D-shaped in cross-section with flat bottom and rounded top. It narrows slightly throughout its length from the loop towards the tip. The tip is undercut slightly. On the top of the shaft, near the junction with the loop there is a raised transverse line. The loop is probably incomplete asit is only 2/3rds of a circle. The pin is 36.2mm long including the loop, 10.5mm wide and 4.5mm thick; it weighs 2.96 grams.

The size suggests this is a buckle pin rather than a brooch pin. Similar buckle pins with slight variations in the raised moulding were found in archaeological excavations in London in contexts dated c.1250-1400 (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 115-116, fig. 75, refs. 541, 547 and 549).
