Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy hair pin of Roman date. Only the head and a fragment of the shaft survive, the remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn.The head is biconical in shape, measuring 7.20mm in diameter. The top face is decorated with five diagonal grooves radiating from the top of the head to a circumferential groove at the base. The bottom face is decorated with a circumferential groove. The shaft is roughly circular in cross-section (4.03mm in diameter) and tapers before terminating in old breaks.This pin measures 27.90mm in length, 2.06g in weight.This hair pin is very similar to one discovered at Colchester. Both of these hair pins are Roman in date (Crummy 1981, p.31, fig 31, no 500). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
