Description: | A cast copper alloy pin, probably dating to the middle Anglo-Saxon period (AD 720 ?? 850). The pin has a flattened biconical head (globular) with a long tapering conical lower part, tapering underneath to a narrow pin shaft. The shaft measures 2.24mm in thickness. The diameter of the head is 8.9mm. The shaft is broken and only survives to a length of 10.1mm. The pin head and the shaft are both undecorated. The metal is a dark greyish-brown colour. The surface is quite pitted, but much of the original patina still survives. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
