Description: | A corroded and bent 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 appears intact, simply moved apart freeing it from the frame. There is a simple rectangular ridge at the junction of the loop and the shaft. The pin tapers slightly to a blunted tip. The object has now corroded to a mid-grey colour. The loop has been bent upwards at the tip and also slightly to one side at the tip. Similar examples of pins illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 115; fig. 75) date to around the 14th century AD.
