Title
Early medieval pin
Description
English: A fragment of a copper-alloy early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) pin dating to the period AD 700 to 900. Only the head of the pin and the upper part of the shaft survive. The head is biconical in shape. It tapers to a circular-section stem. Where the stem meets the head the stem has a circumferential collar. The presence of a small collar below the head indicates an early medieval rather than Roman date. This example belongs to Ross' (1991) 'Medium'-Biconical-headed Sub-type, which he assigns a mid-Saxon date range (ibid., 288). The pin measures 41mm in length, the head has a diameter of 8mm, the stem a diameter of 2mm.
