Object type: PIN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A collection of nineteen post medieval copper alloy pins. Each is created from copper alloy wire which has been cut, twisted and crimped around one end of the pin two and a half times to create a spherical pinhead. The length range is 19.0mm - 30.0mm, diameter of the pinhead range is 1.3mm - 2.3mm, diameter range of the wire is 0.6mm to 0.9mm and the weight range is 0.03g- 0.13g. Ten of the pins are bent in the centre. The size and method of pinhead production (crimped) suggest they are post medieval rather than medieval in date.
