Description: | A copper alloy hairpin, probably Cool group 2. The pinshaft is circular in cross-section, and tapers from 4 to 1mm in diameter. The shaft has been bent to form an oval loop with the head projecting at an angle. This has been done in antiquity and presumably relates to the method of wearing, for example to wrap around the ear or a clump of hair, or even threaded through a cloak.
The head has a small collar below with a vase shaped terminal that is collared and pointed at the top | Subjects: | Cool Group 3 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
