Description: | A copper-alloy pin of 14th century date.
The shaft is 62mm in length and 2.5mm in thickness at the base of the head. The shaft is circular in section and narrows to a point. At the top of the shaft and just below the head is a collar. The head is multifaceted, with four lozenge-shaped primary faces/sides, a flat top face, and eight triangular faces (four above, four below) between each of the primary faces. The four primary faces each have a shallow circular depression with a ring of 2mm diameter in relief.
The shaft is bent in two places, so the pin at present forms three sides of a square. | 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: | 1300
