Description: | A cast copper-alloy pin now independent of its frame, probably from a medieval annular buckle. It is solidly cast, with a cross-section in the shape of a rectangle with rounded corners. The oval loop may have been slightly truncated. There is a plain rectangular ridge at the junction of the loop and the shaft. The object has now corroded to a dark grey colour with areas of lighter corrosion product. The tip end has been bent downwards through nearly ninety degrees. The size of this object points to this being an example of a buckle pin as opposed to a brooch pin. Examples illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 115; fig. 75) date to around the 14th century AD.
