Description: | A copper-alloy artefact of uncertain date and function. A parallel for this piece is recorded on the PAS database (see BH-844830) and was described as being a probable pin head of medieval date. It seems likely that both artefacts are pin heads but, on reflection, a Roman date is more likely.
The pin head is dish-shaped, the upper surface containing a large setting which is partially filled with a corroded white glass or enamel inset. Protruding from the centre of the convex underside is a remnant of the integral, circular-sectioned shaft.
The object measures 14.9mm in diameter, 6.6mm high and weighs 5.49g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
