Description: | A copper-alloy pin head and a fragment of the shaft most likely to be middle Anglo-Saxon in date. The head of this pin is biconincal in shape with a median band, it measures 8mm in diameter. The upper face, median band and lower half of the head each have four circular indentations evenly spaced around them, these are worn and may have been ring and dot motifs originally. Where the head meets the shaft there is a circumferencial collar. The shaft is worn and has a circular cross-section it measures 5mm in surviving length and 1mm in width. The copper-alloy that this pin is made of is reddish brown in colour and very similar to the metal found in other mid to late Anglo-Saxon artefacts. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
