A fragment of a copper alloy possible penannular finger ring of uncertain date, missing its bezel and most of its hoop. The fragment roughly tapers from one end to the other. The wider end is clearly broken, but the narrow end is very worn and it is unclear if it forms the terminal or if the hoop of the ring continued from its end.

Object type: HAIR PIN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a copper alloy probably Roman pin (AD c.100-c.300), missing most of its shaft. The head consists of a flattened spherical terminal with a constriction below it, then a collar, then another constriction, then a collar tapering to the shaft. The shaft is quite slender at only c.1.5mm thick. The shape of the head is most similar to Crummy's (1983) Type 2 pins, which date to the second or third century AD, but the narrow shaft suggests that this may actually be an Early Anglo-Saxon pin, which vary in appearance and can be difficult to recognise when unstratified. Overall, th…
