Description: | A complete but corroded cast copper-alloy pin of probable mid-late Anglo-Saxon date. The pin shaft, which is circular in section, is bent at a sharp right-angle halfway along its length. The head is polyhedral (multi-facetted)and decorated with ring and dot design. Pins of this type are sometimes dated as Roman, esppecially when there is no collar between the pinhead & shaft but many are also known from Anglo-Saxon contexts. In this case the close association of other Anglo-Saxon material makes the later date more likely.
Dated c.700-900 AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burrill, Charlotte - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
