Description: | 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 head of the pin takes the form of a truncated cone. From the centre of the recessed upper surface projects a smaller cone, with a small circular indentation at the point. The tapering sides of the head are slightly concave. The integral shaft extends from the centre of the underside. The part adjacent to the head is roughly oval in section; this changes to a rectangular section, before ending in a wedge-shaped point.The object has a mid green patina and is in good condition. It measures 23.5mm long, 14mm wide (maximum diameter of the head) and weighs 6.92g.
