Description: | Complete cast copper alloy lock pin. The object has a conical head with the upper face sunk around a central cone. Beneath the cone is a slightly wasted neck and then a moulded collar. Beneath the collar extends the shaft. The shaft is rectangular both in plan and section which does not taper. Towards the end of the shaft should be a circular perforation but at the time of recording the shaft was obscured by dirt and corrosion. Where the metal is visible, the original surface can be seen in patches with a dark green patina. Exposed surfaces are light green. The object is 60.26mm long, of which 20.82 is the head, neck and collar, and weighs 49g. The diameter of the head is 24.6mm. The collar is 17.8mm in diameter and 5.12mm thick. The shaft is 12.64mm wide and 7.88mm thick. An example of a similar lock pin from Colchester can be seen in Crummy, 1983, The Roman small finds from excavations in Colchester 1971-9, figure 137, number 4143. | Subjects: | Lock pin | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
