Description: | An incomplete medieval copper-alloy pin from an annular buckle of Margeson??s disc on tongue (or pin) type. Consisting of an integrally cast rounded sub--lozengiform plate occupying the majority of the central section of the pin, the front face of which has a border groove. The plate also has four large bi-conical dome-headed decorative rivets, through it, which are evenly spaced. Projecting either end of the plate are two fragmentary shanks, probably originally a loop and from the other a tapering shank. The pin measures 16.2mm in length and 16.3mm in width across the plate, there are traces of gilding.
It is uncertain how these enigmatic objects would have functioned as pins. Other examples include two from Norfolk, see NMS-892006, from Bracon Ash and NMS-CD35B2, from Hoe, there is also one illustrated in Middle Harling, Norfolk (miss-identified as a hooked tag) (EAA 74 fig.39, no.490). Suffolk examples include SF-7EC955, from Waldringfield, SF-A79EA4, from Great Barton and SF-3E0013, from Isleham. | Subjects: | Margeson??s disc on tongue (or pin) type | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
