Description: | A copper alloy Medieval pin probably from an annular brooch or buckle. The pin is 49mm in length and has a rectangular cross-section that tapers over its length to a blunt point with concave moulding on the underside. The attachment end consists of a penannular loop. Adjacent to the loop on the upper face is a raised moulding or grip with three transverse engraved lines. A very similar pin is shown in Egan: Dress Accessories 1150-1450 (2002) p75; No. 547 from a context which is dated through ceramic association to circa 1350-1400 AD. The pin weighs 5.66g and has a mottled green to brown colour.
