Description: | Probable late medieval/early post medieval pin head. Copper alloy sheet partial-sphere open on one side and filled with lead solder. One half of the sphere has four flattened circular areas (diameters 3.9mm (this is slightly concave), 3.6mm, 5mm & 5mm) ?? these may be decorative but are more probably the result of damage. Diameter 9.5mm, length (from lead filled base to top) 8.8mm, weight 4.29g.
This is similar to the late 15th-16th century pins published in Crummy 1988 (Post Roman small-finds from Colchester, Colchester) p.7 & p.9, fig 5, no.s 1383-4, although with these the head is in two hemi-spheres. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
