Description: | Copper alloy pin with a head formed of two slightly domed circular copper alloy pieces joined at the edges to create a pointed oval cross section. The head is 10.1mm in diameter and 6.9mm thick. The hollow head is filled with lead solder, corrosion products form which cover the head. The shaft is 1.4mm in diameter and c.45mm long and possibly drawn wire, it comes to a sharp point at the end. It weighs 3.84 grams.
The pin is similar to ones illustrated by Egan (2005, Page 51 No.221 and 224) who suggests a late Medieval or Post Medieval date (c.1480-1700). | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
