Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy pin, only the head and a stub of the shaft of this pin survive. The head is biconical in shape, with a flat tip, it measures 6mm in height and 7mm in width (at its widest point- the centre). It is decorated with ring and dot decoration, there is a central ring and dot on the flat tip and a two circumferencial rows of ring and dot around the rest of the pin head. One side of the head is very worn and in this area the ring and dot are no longer visible. Where the head joins the shaft there is a circumferencial collar. The shaft measures 5mm in surviving length and is circular in cross-section, measuring 2mm in diameter. This pin is very worn and patches of an active powdery green corrosion can be seen. It is middle Anglo Saxon in date and similar pins have been discovered at Barham, Sibton and Sweffling, Suffolk. | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
