Description: | Middle Early-Medieval copper alloy pin with bent shaft and polyhedral head - a cube with the corners cut off. It measures 57.8mm in (bent) length and weighs 3.20g.
The head measures 6.4x6.3x6.4mm and is flanked by a squarish collar 1.5mm thick. Below this the circular-sectioned shank extends 2.9mm in diameter, tapering over a (bent) 49mm to a 0.8mm diameter point. The shank is c.51mm un-bent.
The pin may have been bent in antiquity to hold it into clothing or hair (although the sharp point might suggest clothing rather more than hair!) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
