Description: | A copper alloy mid-late Anglo-Saxon pin. The pinhead is complete but the shaft has broken off. The pinhead has thirteen faces, each with a chip-carved/engraved ring and dot motif. The pinhead is a polyhedral type, which are cube or cuboid shaped with the corners cut off. It is impossible to say how long the shaft was or whether is was a straight shaft, or an L-shaped shaft. The pin is otherwise in a good condition, but much of the original surface has been lost. The metal is a mid brownish-green colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
