Description: | An Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) copper alloy pin (AD720-850). The head is biconical with the upper half flattened in shape so that it gently curves. At the junction between the head and the shaft is a collar (a raised rib). Approximately one-quarter down the length of the shaft it sharply bends. This was probably done in antiquity to hold it in place in hair or clothing. The shaft has a circular cross section with a diameter of 1.95mm. The tip is broken and missing.
Dimensions: length 33.44mm; width diameter of head 7.88mm; weight 2.40g. | Subjects: | Anglo Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Levick, Paula - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
