Description: | Copper alloy early Medieval pin. The pin-head is faceted and is formed from a cube with the corners removed leaving diamond and triangular shaped facets. Each of the four diamond shaped side facets has four dots decorating it and dot decoration is present on most of the other facets. Part of the shaft is intact and tapers slightly to the end where it may have broken off. The pin is quite worn and does not have a well defined collar between the head and shank (characteristic of Anglo-Saxon pins) but the decoration does suggest an Anglo-Saxon date. The pin weighs 2.96g and measures 25.87mm in length and 7.13mm in width (across the head). | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
