Description: | A copper alloy mid-late Anglo-Saxon pin. The pinhead is complete but the shaft is broken. The entire length of the pin is 20.5mm. The pinhead is polyhedral in shape, with 13 facets each with a chip-carved/engraved ring and dot motif. The pinhead looks more elaborate than a normal polyhedral head, which are cube or cuboid shaped with the corners cut off. The shaft has a circular section. The shaft is slightly bent, but the break has occurred on the main part of the bend, so it is impossible to say how long the shaft was or whether is was a straight shaft, but an L-shaped shaft. The pin is otherwise in a good condition and much of the original surface survives. The metal is a mid brownish-green colour. | 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: | 750
