Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy buckle pin, probably dating to the Medieval period, c. AD 1250-1450. The pin has an oval-shaped loop at one end, now broken, and a tapering, square-sectioned pin shaft; between the shaft and loop is a small raised ridge for decoration. No further decoration is visible. Similar buckle pins are discussed in Egan and Pritchard 1991, p115, Nos. 540-543, dating to between c. 1270-c. 1400 AD based upon contextual ceramic evidence. Cf. also Whitehead 2003, p17, dated to c. 1250-1450. The date suggested above reflects both publications. The pin measures 38 mm long; 3.8 mm wide at loop; 9.9 mm thick at loop; weighing 3.09 grams. It has an even dark green patina.
