The frame is decorated with a raised, bevelled band along the centre of the frame and beading around the edge. The cross-bar has a central groove with a ridge on either side to secure the pin. These two ridges do not extend on the upper edge of the cross-bar. The pin is made from iron wire wrapped around the cross-bar for attachment.Several similar examples have been excavated in London, all date to the early 15th century and Egan and Pritchard (1991:67) suggests this was a standard form for shoes.Dimensions: Diameter: 23.33mm; thickness: 2.75mm; weight: 4.34g.Reference: Egan G. and Pritchard F. 1991.
