Description: | Copper alloy pin with a fused spherical head and a wire shank, tapering to a point, that would have been soldered to the head once it had been wrapped around the shank.
Margeson (1993) illustrates similar examples on page 12, Fig.5, Nos.36 & 38, which have strips forming a head around the shank, and are dated to the 16th century.
Egan (2007) illustrates another example which is more tightly crimped and neater and more spherical like this example, on page 221, Plate 46, No.3099, which is dated to the early Post-medieval period. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
