Description: | Incomplete Medieval pin or stylus, parts of head and lower shank missing. The upper edge of the head is level and blade-like in section and both edges are missing. Below this there are parts of what may have been rounded apertures or merely spaces below a T-shaped top, above a flat expansion decorated on both faces with a saltire and four probably drilled dots. Both sides of this expansion are missing, but both breaks cut across a hole or the space between two very small projections. Next comes a polyhedral element, a cube with chamfered corners and with a series of oblique grooves that emphasise the four lozengiform facets. The polyhedron is pierced by round holes on all four faces. The head??s upper edge suggests that this may have be a stylus. No parallel noted. The object does not bear much resemblances to styli of the Anglo-Saxon period. Length >55mm. Width of head >9mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Robbins, Katherine - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
