Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy possible trefoil buckle pin of possible Roman date. It is missing the tip of the tongue due to old breaks, now worn. It is a flattened D-shape in section with a flat back and rounded front face. On each side two prongs curve round towards the loop end to form a pair of 'C's perpendicular to the tongue. The tongue is rectangular 9.10mm in length, 4.06mm in width and tapers towards old breaks. Parallel to the tongue is an integral rectangular bar 5.66mm in width, 6.81mm in height, which has been bent backwards to form an open loop. This buckle pin measures 23.78mm in length, 30.31mm in width, 2.33mm in thickness, 3.80g in weight.There are similar examples recorded by Bishop and Coulston (Bishop and Coulston, 1993, p. 175, no. 3) and Hawkes and Dunning (Hawkes and Dunning, 1961, fig. 17, no. K). However, no direct parallels could be found.
