Description: | Copper-alloy dress pin of middle early-medieval (middle Anglo-Saxon) date. The pin head is globular in shape with a slightly flattened top. It is decorated with ring and dot design. This ring and dot is closely spaced and covers the whole of the pin head. It is arranged in three horizontal bands, with a single ring and dot at the centre of the top of the pin head. The base of the pin head is separated from the pin shaft by a simple raised collar. The shaft is circular in section, with a slightly wider area towards the top. It has become bent nearly to a right angle, probably after deposition in the ground. It would also seem likely that the shaft was originally longer.
The shaft measures 36.3mm long, by up to 1.8mm diameter. The collar has a diameter of 2.9mm diameter. The head is 8.9mm wide by 9mm high. Weight = 4.44g. | 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
