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 fragment of 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 a transverse ridge. The surface of the pin is in fair condition and has an abraded mid-brown matte patina. The buckle pin measures 40.23mm long, 7.48mm wide at the loop and 4.1mm thick. It weighs 3.36g.
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.
