Description: | A copper alloy late Medieval or Post-Medieval annular brooch or buckle pin (c. 1200-1500 AD). It is of heavy, cast construction, sub-rectangular in section, tapering to a point and has a raised rectangular moulding. The relatively sharp point implies that this formed the pin of an annular brooch rather than a buckle pin. The head simply curves round, but part is missing. It measures 48.4 mm in length, 10.0 mm wide, 4.4 mm thick and weighs 4.2 g.It is difficult to confidently identify this object as either a brooch or buckle pin without the accompanying frame, there are a number of parallels in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 58 & 249). Comparable to record HESH-170955 and NCL-2B9D01.
