Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle pin. The pin is a sub-rectangle in plan. The tip is a slightly tapering blunt point, whereas the opposite terminal, in profile, forms a ?C? shape, which would have curled around the strap bar of a buckle frame. This terminal is slightly damaged, having lost some of its original surface, thereby leaving a pointed terminal. The upper surface, as the curl starts, is decorated with a single transverse linear ridge. The underside also has a transverse ridge. The pin has an abraded surface with traces of a mid green coloured patina. It measures 42.73mm long, 4.64mm wide and weighs 2.4g.
In Ottaway (Ottaway, P. and Rogers, N. 2002 Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Finds From Medieval York York Archaeological Trust and CBA) there is a similar example, No. 14336, which is dated to the 14th century. | 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: | 1300
