Description: | A large cast copper alloy pin from a medieval annular buckle.
The pin is formed from one piece of copper alloy with a broken open loop at one terminal. The loop is rounded on the upper surface. The pin shaft is flat and rectangular in section. It narrows after the loop and widens again in the middle. This middle section is decorated with five punched rings, four in a square with one in the centre. The pin then tapers slightly to a blunt point. It has slightly chamfered sides and a flat base. The terminal proper has a concave underside, where it would have rested onto the frame.
The metal is a mid brownish-green colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
