Description: | An incomplete copper alloy pin of probable Middle Saxon date. The pin has a flattened biconical head that is faceted and decorated with 17 ring and dot motifs. beneath the head is a small transverse collar, from which extends the shaft of the pin. The shaft is circular in section and bends to an angle of approximately 45 degrees before terminating in an old break. The pin measures 30.33mm in length, 6.88mm in diameter (at the head), and weighs 2.18g.
Similar pins noted on the PAS database (for example NMS-4C7913, NMS-466973, SF-72DED5) and in West (1998: pp. 221, Fig. 103.3) suggest a Middle Saxon date for this example, thus c.720-900 AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
