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 sideways 'U' 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 and length. The upper surface, as the curl starts, is decorated with a single transverse linear ridge. In section the pin is semi-circular. The pin has traces of a mid green coloured patina otherwise the surface is heavily abraded. It measures mm long, mm wide and weighs g. 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.
