Object type: PIN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper-alloy pin of probable Medieval date. The pin shaft is of circular section, tapering to a point. The head is formed of two bands of copper-alloy wire/bar which have been wedged at the terminal. These both have a small gap or join where they have been bent into a circle. There are no ready parallels for this pin and the dating is uncertain. The use of separate wire at the head would suggest a medieval date but an earlier date, in the Roman or Early Medieval period, cannot be excluded. It measures 69.54mm in length, 5.76mm in diameter at the head, 3.05mm in diameter at …
