Description: | The object is an incomplete pin, only the head and a short portion of the shank remains. The break of the shank does not appear to have occurred recently. The pin is made from cast copper alloy. The pin head is a sub-globular type, with the upper face forming a squat conical shape and the underside forming an elongated inverted conical from which the integral shank protrudes from the tip. The shank is sub-circular in section and tapers to a broken blunt point. This break may not be recent. The head measures 7.43mm diameter, and the object is 21.25mm long. It weighs 1.6g. The surface of the pin has an incomplete mid green patina.
The object is a cast copper alloy pin, which may date to the Medieval period. In Ottaway and Rogers (2002 Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Finds From Medieval York CBA) a similar pin, No. 12908 is dated to the 14th and 15th centuries. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
