Description: | A copper-alloy buckle pin of Medieval date. The pin has a weight of 5.74g, total length of 49.4mm. The pin has a sub-rectangular cross-section with slightly convex upper and lower surfaces. The cross-section has a width of 4.1mm and a maximum height of 5.1mm. The pin has a cut-away tip (or wear) on the lower surface that reduces the height of the tip to 2.5mm. The pin shaft is 39.6mm of the total length and just before the shaft ends and the loop starts a raised rectangular mounding is present. This raised moulding has the same width as the shaft, a length of 8.1mm and increases the total height, at this point, of the shaft to 7.0mm. The loop has a 'D' shaped cross-section with a height (thickness) of 2.7mm and width of 3.3mm. The loop currently forms a semi-circle rather than full or mostly complete loop, which might be due to a break, as the current loop would be difficult to secure in place in order for it to hinge around a pin bar/frame of the buckle.The rest of the buckle is not present.See Egan, G. & Pritchard, F. Dress Accessories 1150-1450. 1991 & 2002. p.51 & p.115, fig.75, no.539, 541, 547, 549. Also see PAS record CAM-605CA2.
