Description: | A cast copper-alloy object, which is possibly a pin of Roman date. With its domed upper surfaces and indented wavy lines (possibly representing a mane), the head of the pin bears some resemblance to Roman lion-headed studs as found on 1st century casket burials in Hertfordshire (Partridge, 1981, p. 315). There is however, only a suggestion of eyes and no other facial features are visible. The underside of the head is hollow and on each side of the head there is a single circular lug, one of which is damaged. The shaft is of tapering circular section and has three moulded collars near the top. It is broken off at the bottom. Overall, the object measures 38.3mm long by 15.4mm wide and 8.3mm thick. It weighs 5.76g. | 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: | 43
