Description: | A copper-alloy buckle pin of Medieval date. The pin weighs 5.71g and has a length, including attachment loop, of 51.1mm. The shaft has a sub-circular cross-section with flattened underside (width 4.1mm, thickness 4.3mm), rounded tip and shallow concave notch on the underside (width at tip 3.3mm, thickness 3.1mm) for a length of 4.2mm from the tip. A transverse ridge is present on the upper surface 36.6mm from the tip. This ridge has a width of 4.1mm, length of 2.0mm and increases the thickness of the shaft to 5.3mm. Behind the ridge the shaft takes on a more pronounced 'D' shaped cross-section, curving up over round and down to form an oval attachment loop, the rounded terminal butting up against the underside just behind ridge. The cross-section of the loop has a thickness of 2.4mm. The internal measurements of the loop are length 6.0mm and depth 3.4mm although this maybe contracted from the original apperture if the underside of the loop (terminal end) has been bent/pushed up and in slightly.See Egan, G. Dress Accessories 1150-1450, 2002, p.51, 115-116, fig.32 & 75.
