Description: | Copper alloyPin. Cast pin shank with a large biconvex pyramidal head of possibly composite construction. The shank is slightly tapered and of round section; the head is set above either a slight collar or brazing patch. The two halves of the head may also be brazed together; the object is suspiciously light and its head may therefore be hollow. There is also a dark brown tint along the putative seam where the upper and lower halves of the pinhead meet, and a reddish spot where shank meets head. A function fastening a head dress is suggested. Suggested date: Probably Late Medieval, 1350-1500.Length: 37.9mm, Shank Diameter: 3.6mm, Head Width: 12.8mm, Weight: 5.20gms.
