Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle pin of Medieval date. It has a shaft that is rectangular in plan and has a square cross section with rounded edges. Towards its centre the shaft flares slightly before tapering towards a rounded point. At the junction of the shaft and loop is a moulded rectangular grip that has incised cross-hatched decoration on the exterior face. Aboce the grip is the incomplete suspension sub-circular circular suspension loop, of which approximately half is missing due to old breaks. This pin measures 56.34mm in length, 10.52mm in width at loop, 4.74mm in thickness, and weighs 8.48g. A near identical example is noted from Medieval London with breaks in a similar place on the loop and identical cross-hatched decoration (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 549). This suggests a date in the 14th century for the current example. | Subjects: | Pin | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
