Description: | Copper alloy pin head from a middle Saxon pin. This pin head is globular with a diameter of 9.98mm and weighing 3.93g. Including the shaft it has an over all length of 14.14mm. It is decorated with a ring and dot motif. Beneath the pin head is a collar and beneath that only 3.4mm survives of the circular shaft. The patina of the pinhead is an even mid green with some light green patches. The break on the shaft is smoothed over, suggesting it occurred sometime in antiquity. An identical parallel can be found in West 1998, A Corpus of Anglo Saxon material from Suffolk, page 221, figure 103, number 3. | 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: | 650
