Description: | A copper-alloy buckle pin from a medieval buckle. The pin is cast and measures 48.3 mm in length. It is 3.8 mm thick. At one end there is a broken loop which is 10.3 mm in diameter. Wear on the loop break suggests that it probably broke during use. The tip is worn by at the end, a result of rubbing against the frame during use. There is a ridged grip just below the loop.
Similar examples are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 115; 541-549). These date from between 1270 and 1400 and this example is very likely to be of a similar date. | 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: | 1270
