Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy probable Roman pin. It is 54.89mm long, and bent and flattened at the point which is incomplete. The shaft is 2.3mm thick. There is moulded decoration in the form of seven grooves and ridges at the terminal which broadens out and is 4.78mm wide. The pin weighs 2.71g. The moulded decoration and the narrowness of the shaft are reminiscent of the central part of an L-shaped tumbler-lock lift key, however this would be a small and insubstantial example if so. It is also possible that this is the shaft from a toilet spoon, with the scoop broken off. | 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
