Description: | A pin head and the top of a composite shaft. The pin head almost cube shaped with the corners cut off, it is 7mm by 7.5mm in size. The Lozengiform faces of the sides have relief decoration of fleur-de-lis. The triangular faces each have a triangular groove. The shaft has a collar at the top followed by two more transverse projections. The shaft is circular in cross-section and 2.5mm in diameter, it is 7mm in length. The shaft is incomplete due to an old break and the broken end of the shaft is corroding and green in colour, it is therefore likely that the shaft and probabaly the pin head are made of copper-alloy with silver decorative elements. A similar silver pinhead and incomplete shaft were found at Rendham and was dated by James Robinson as 13th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
