Description: | An incomplete copper alloy pin which is probably early medieval in date. The pin head is biconical and there is no collar. The shaft is circular in section, has a slight bend, and is broken with half the shaft being slightly longer than the other half forming a L shaped break. The pin is 24mm long, and the head has a diameter of 5.8mm. It is in good condition and has a smooth light green patina. Similar examples can be seen in West??s (1998) ??Corpus of Anglo Saxon Material from Suffolk??, and this example probably dates from the eighth or ninth century (Geake, 2001, Finds Recording Guide). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
