Description: | A cast copper alloy pin, probably dating to the middle Anglo-Saxon period (AD 720 ?? 850). The pin has a flattened biconical head (globular) with a long tapering conical lower part, tapering underneath into a narrow pin shaft. The head is decorated with a series of ring-and-dot motifs. The diameter of the head is 9.43mm. The shaft is bent. There is a small narrow collar around the shaft, at the junction between the shaft and the head. The pin head and the shaft are both undecorated. The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and the original patina survives as a smooth, glossy surface ?? but it is also quite pitted. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
