Description: | An incomplete copper alloy pin of early-medieval date. The pin head is of truncated-globular or sub-polyhedral - a cuboid with the corners cut off- type. A ring-and-dot punchmark occupying each facet apart from the top facet of the object which is undecorated. From the base of the head a circular sectioned shaft extends, tapering to a recent break. The shaft is undecorated. A single collar separates the head from the remains of the circular-sectioned shaft. These pins are well attested to the Middle Saxon period, c. AD 720-850.Polyhedral pins are dated to both the Roman and early-medieval periods but the presence of a collar beneath the head on this example suggests it is early-medieval.The object has a glossy mid-green patina and is in very good condition.Dimensions: 43mm in length, 7mm in width, 7mm thick, 3.4g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
