Description: | A complete copper alloy pin of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. The pin has a shaft 45.10mm in length that terminates in a sharp point. The head is of the wound-wire type, wound twice around the top of the shaft and approximately spherical in shape, but with a slightly flattened top. It has decoration consisting of parallel diagonal incised or crimped lines. The pin measures 50.58mm in total length, the head has a diameter of 6.48mm, and the entire object weighs 2.26g. Parallels for this pin can be noted in Medieval to Post-Medieval contexts in Norwich (Margeson, 1993: pp. 13, nos. 41-43) and in Bailey, 1997: 68-69, nos. 1-8. See Egan and Pritchard, 1991: 297-303) for the development of similar pins in the Medieval period. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
