Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy pin. The pinhead is rectangular in cross-section and has a facet at each corner, creating 13 faces on the head. Each face, except the top, is decorated with a punched ring and dot motif; the motif has a recessed area around a raised ring with a recess in the centre. There is a small raised collar between the head and shaft. The shaft was probably originally straight although now it has two bends, it is circular in cross-section and broken due to old damage part way down. The pin is probably mid-late Saxon in date, and was made between circa 700 AD - circa 900 AD
The head is 8.9mm by 6.7mm and 4.3mm thick. The shaft is 1.9mm in diameter. The pin weighs 1.76 grams and measures 32.4mm total length. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
