Description: | A small, broken faceted-headed pin presumably of Middle Saxon age. The head is 4mm square and displays four equal lozenges on the side faces with an additional lozenge on the top, the triangular chamfers between forming the facets of the upper corners. There is a single collar between the head and the shaft, and the shaft is of rod 2mm in diameter. The point of the pin is broken off and missing, but 19mm of the shaft survives, which at a short distance from the broken end has been bent in antiquity to a 90 degree bend on a very tight curve. This may be connected with its breakage, which may have arisen from an attempt to straighten it. | Subjects: | faceted-headed | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
