Unique ID: WAW-9AAAE4

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Medieval (late 14th to early 16th century) annular buckle pin: In plan, the copper alloy pin is a long slender rectangle with a rounded blunt tip. The opposite terminal has a rounded penannular loop or annular loop which would be fixed around the bar of the frame. On the upper surface the pin is decorated with three transverse ridges. The surface of the pin is in fair condition and has a mid-green patina. The buckle pin measures 50.32mm long, 15.26mm wide at the loop and 4.59mm thick. It weighs 6.63g.

Similar pins are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (2002), for example No. 28. Egan and Pritchard (2002:57) comment that these pins and frames from which they are commonly found are dated to the late 14th to early 16th century.
