Description: | An incomplete Medieval (c.1300-1400) copper alloy pin from an annular buckle, missing part of its loop. It is very worn and pitted, with most of the original patination being lost. It measures 46.44mm in length, 7.95mm in max. width and 7.84mm in max. depth. It weighs 3.18g.The pin has a rectangular swelling below the loop to the front which may have originally been decorated. The shank tapers slightly towards the blunted 'point' end (2.17mm wide), where it has a shallow (intentional) notch on the underside where the pin would have rested on the buckle frame.Annular buckle frames complete with pin can be seen in 'Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast' (2007, p. 87, nos. 430 and 432).
