Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy lock-pin of Roman date. Similar pins have been found in excavations in Colchester (see Crummy, 1983, p. 124-5). For other examples on the PAS database, see BH-2166E6 and BH-05F497.
The piece comprises part of the pin's head. The upper portion takes the form of a (damaged) dish shape with a truncated cone extending upwards from the centre. Beneath is a short shaft of circular section. At the bottom is a circular plate with a sub-square protrusion at the centre of the underside, attached to which is iron corrosion.
The object measures 22.9mm wide, 19.2mm high and weighs 11.06g. | Subjects: | Pin | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
