Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy crescent-headed linch pin of Late Iron Age or Early Roman date (100 BC - AD 100). Length 35mm, maximum width 54mm and maximum thickness 17.5mm. Weight 84.81g.The object is the right hand part of the head of a crescent-headed linch pin. The corresponding left part and most of the iron pin shaft are missing.The convex front face has nine moulded flutes. The flutes are of varying widths, are parallel to each other and all slope inwards slightly from the bottom towards the top. The underside face is flat and the rear face is slightly convex. The inner edge is formed by an old break where there is a small part of the corroded iron pin shaft.The surfaces of the front, rear and underside appear to be slightly worn and have a mid-brown patina, except for some areas where the patina is lost and the surface of the underlying metal is slightly corroded.
