Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy pin from a buckle of medieval date (1150-1450 AD).
The pin is sub-rectangular in plan with a broken cast loop at one end and a broken edge at the other. It is sub-rectangular in both profile and cross section. It measures 39.4mm long, 11.4mm thick and is 3.7mm thick. It weighs 4.42 grams. On the upper edge is a raised ridged grip, this is 6.1mm long.
The pin is of a mid-light green colour with an even patina that covers all surfaces. This suggests that the damage to both ends of the pin is relatively old.
A similar pin can be seen in Geoff Egan and Frances Pritchard's catalogue: Dress Accessories c. 1150-1450; medieval finds from excavation in London (2002); page 115, reference 541. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1150
