Description: | A copper-alloy pin head of probable Roman date. No exact parallel could be found for this piece but similar examples are known and it is probably best classifed as a Cool type 25 (1990; pp.170), having a multiple grooved head.
At the (?)top of the head a short portion of circular section tapers upwards to a point; below this is a horizontal rim above a horizontal groove; this gives way to a narrower, waisted section, which, in turn, gives way to a globular moulding; a further horizontal rim and groove finish off the head section. The small remaining portion of the shaft is of circular section and tapers downwards.
The piece measures 28.2mm long by 5.8mm in diameter and weighs 2.16g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
