Description: | Copper alloy polyhedral pinhead, possibly dating to the Roman period. The pinhead is faceted and is formed from a cube with the corners removed leaving diamond and triangular shaped facets. The shank of the pin is quite thick and only a small length survives. The pinhead weighs 4.7g and measures 19mm in length and 8.2mm in width (across the head). A similar parallel can be seen in ?Finds from Roman Aldborough? by M c Bishop, Fig.13 No. 94. | 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: | 400 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Anna Marshall | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
