Description: | Copper-alloy pin with flattened biconical or globular head; the upper part of the head is a flattened hemisphere and the lower part is conical, and the junction between the two is rounded. Diameter of head 7 mm. The conical lower part of the head tapers down to a slight collar, and beneath this the shaft starts with an unusual 2 mm square section. Splits and seams can be seen running down two diagonally opposite angles of the shaft, showing that it was made by hammering rather than casting. The angles of the shaft become more rounded towards the tip, but the section never becomes truly circular. The shaft does not taper and the tip has a rather sudden point which may be an old break. Surviving length 53 mm. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 720
