Description: | A copper-alloy pin or nail of probable Roman date. The head is bi-conical, with most of the height being in the upper part. It measures 10.4mm high by 9.8mm wide. The shaft is square in section and tapers to a point. Overall, the object is 26mm long and it weighs 5.05g.
Similar pins have been found in Roman levels at Colchester (N. Crummy; 1983; pp. 115). Their function is uncertain, although they may have been used to secure furniture fittings. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
