Copper-alloy pin

online resource
posted on 2021-10-26, 15:11 authored by Helena HamerowHelena Hamerow
Bronze pin, length 5/65 cm, but tip broken off. Clumsy thing, probably Roman, with heavy facetted knob and swollen shaft tapering to point. Curious black-brown patina, not at all like the other Anglo-Saxon pieces.
