Description: | Cast copper alloy pin comprising a large, disc/ring shaped head and incomplete pin. The pin is sub-circular in section towards the tip. Towards the head end, the pin is flattened, leading into the flattened ring of the head. The head is decorated with a series of incised lines around its inner and outer edge. The design of this pin-head is reminiscent of the sun-disc design common on later bronze age artefacts. A date in the later bronze age seems most likely for this particular object, c.900-700 BC. | 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: | -900
