A cast copper alloy Roman pin dating from the late first or early second century. The head is in the form of an open, human hand with the fingers held together and the thumb extended and curved upwards to give a deep, U-shaped groove.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper alloy pin dating from the Medieval period. It has a circular head created by winding five turns of copper wire around the upper end of the shaft, giving the head a grooved appearance. The shaft is narrow and of the same diameter for much of its length, tapering only to a point at the end. As is often the case with these pins, it is bent in the middle of the shaft. The total length of the shaft is 72.6mm; the head is 6.8mm in diameter. The pin weighs 2.87gm. Pins of similar construction are illustrated in Egan & Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories c1150-c1450, page 301.
