Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy Anglo-Saxon pin, consisting of the head and a small part of the shaft. The head is a flattened disc, slightly sub-circular and ca 24mm in diameter. It is 1.7mm thick. One face is plain, the other is decorated with an apparently random arrangement of 10 ring and dot stamps. The dots are ca 2mm in diameter, the rings ca 3.5mm. The top of the shaft is flattened but the main body is circular in section and 2.3mm in diameter. There is approximately 18mm of the shaft surviving. The break probably occurred in antiquity as the end is now rounded and has green corrosion on it, and there are patches of corrosion elsewhere. | 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: | 500
