Description: | A Medieval (1350-1450) copper alloy buckle pin, measuring 45.52mm in length. Through the loop is part of a damaged sheet copper-alloy tube with copper alloy wire running through the centre and packed around with a hard substance resembling earth (but not easily removable). The object weighs 7.33g.The pin has a rectangular swelling to the front of the pin (5.60mm thick) just below the loop, which is 10.88mm in diameter. The shank narrows from 4.11x4.77mm below the loop to 2.50x2.85mm at the blunt point. The shank is rectangular in cross-section, but the edges are slightly chamfered to the front.The broken section of tube is 21.09mm long and 5.94mm in diameter. The sheet copper alloy is 0.64mm thick and open to the front of the pin. It is uncertain if this is intentional or not. The copper alloy wire is c.2mm in diameter. The sheet copper alloy is of a different copper alloy to that of the pin.
