Description: | Copper-alloy pin, apparently complete. The head is a relatively large cube with the corners cut off; the cube measures 7 x 7 mm and is 8 mm thick. The edges of the head are worn down and there does not appear to be any surviving decoration. Beneath the head, the circular-section shaft begins immediately with no collar or other decoration. The top 15 mm of the shaft is just 2 mm in diameter; it is then bent, and swells to 3.5 mm before narrowing again and bending back. The bends do not appear to have caused stress to the metal, but the surface is generally very worn so that it is hard to be certain. The total length of the pin, in unbent condition, is c. 75 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
