Description: | A copper alloy pin which may be Roman. The pin is bent over and has a tall pyramid shaped head. The pin is 46.7mm long, and the head is 3.9mm wide and 3.5mm thick. The shaft has a maximum diameter of 2.3mm. The shaft tapers to a point. The head is decorated with six circumferential incised lines dividing the pyramid into lobed elements. This decoration does not appear to be similar to other pins from the Early Medieval period, and although a Roman parallel cannot be found, stylistically the pin appears to have similarities with other Roman objects, so a Roman date is tentatively suggested. The pin is in good condition with a smooth mid-brown patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
