Description: | Cast copper alloy pin comprising a large, disc/ring shaped head and incomplete pin. The pin is sub-circular in section towards the tip. Towards the head end, the pin is flattened, leading into the flattened ring of the head. The head is decorated with a series of incised lines around its inner and outer edge. The design of this pin-head is reminiscent of the sun-disc design common on later bronze age artefacts. A date in the later bronze age seems most likely for this particular object, c.900-700 BC. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
