Description: | A cast copper alloy pin. The pin has a sub-square sectioned shaft. The long shaft tapers inwards from the head end of the pin to the opposite terminal. At its maximum the pins section measures 4.7 x 4.2mm in thickness. No head survives, as this terminal of the pin is broken and also well worn. Due to this break the shaft only survives to a length of 60.4mm. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour and the original patina survives as a smooth, glossy surface. This object could possibly be Early Medieval in date, but could dated anywhere from the Bronze Age to the Early Post-medieval period. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
