Description: | A pin cast in copper-alloy, probably from a medieval brooch or buckle. The pin is long, slender and tapers to a point. The other end has been bent round into a loop; there is a small transverse ridge just before the loop. The fact that this loop survives intact suggests that the brooch or buckle frame was the element that broke. In plan the pin bends slightly in one direction. Viewed in profile the pin travels downwards from the attachment loop before bending upwards to the tip. Its patina is now red-brown with a dusting of light green corrosion product. The relatively delicacy of this pin suggests that it may have come from a large brooch, as opposed to a buckle.
