Description: | A cast copper-alloy pin from a medieval buckle. The pin is an elongated teardrop in plan with an expanded central section and a pointed tip that curves slightly upwards. The attachment end of the pin is folded over to form a loop that would have wrapped around the frame of the buckle. There is evidence of corrosion and possible loss of material from the edges of the central, expanded section suggesting that this may, originally, have been wider. This could, therefore, be the pin from a disc-on-pin type buckle of Redmayne 'Type A', flat disc type. There are traces of gilding on the front face of the pin but no further embellishments.
