Description: | An incomplete early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) cast copper-alloy pin. The head is cube shaped with the corners cut off which is sometimes referred to as polyhedral. The faces are plain and undecorated. There is a narrow collar below the head and the shaft immediately below this is slightly squared in section but at the point at which the pin is broken it has become round in section. The overall length of the pin is 24.33mm with the head being 8.35mm in length including the collar. The maximum width of the head of the pin, (diagonally from corner to corner) which is rectangular rather then square in section is 8.08mm and the thickness of the pin shaft, measured at the narrowest point, ignoring the tapering immediately below the head and collar, is 1.93mm. The pin weighs 2.09g. | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burrill, Charlotte - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
