Description: | Medieval copper alloy sheet pin from a large annular buckle or brooch. The pin is formed of a rectangular strip of copper alloy. One end has been curled over 260 degrees to make a loop. The remainder has has both sides curled under to give a tube with an oval cross section and a hollow blunt end. It is 66.7mm long, 8.3mm wide, 7.7mm thick and weighs 7.90 grams.It is similar in form to the much smaller pin on SUSS-E83422. It is unusually large but annular brooches/buckles with long pins that project beyond the ring are known as well as large examples e.g. SF-BD6644. It is probably Medieval in date, 1250-1500 AD.
