Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy polyhedral pin. The pinhead remains complete but the shaft is bent and broken. The entire length of the pin is 24.2mm, which comprises a head of 11.4mm in length and 11.9mm of remaining shaft. The polyhedral head has thirteen faces in the form of a cube with the corners cur off and all faces are undecorated. The shaft has a circular section, but only a very small portion remains. Therefore it is impossible to say how long it originally was or whether is was straight or L-shaped. The metal is a mid greyish-brown colour and in fairly good condition with only a small amount of pitting.
These pins have been identified as being either Roman or Early-medieval. | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Booth, Anna | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
