Cast copper alloy early medieval pin with ring and dot decoration and glass inlay |
||
| Description |
English: Cast copper alloy pin of early medieval date c. AD 700-900. The pin has a polyhedral head with slightly rounded edges. The surface of the head is decorated with ring and dot motifs. Four of the faces of the head have a large circular setting for coloured glass - one on the top, one on the front, and one of each side.The one of the front of the pin contains blue glass and the one on the left hand side contains green glass; the settings on the right and top of the head are now empty. There is a collar between the head and the shaft.The appearance of the collar would suggest that the head and shaft were cast separately and then joined, or that the pin has been repaired. The shaft is circular in section and bentone-third of the way down.It terminates in a sharp point.The metal has a dark green patina and is worn.
The pin is 105mm long; the head is 15.6mm wide (including the glass setting); 13.7mm thick (including the glass setting) and 14.5m high (including the collar).The shaft is 2.8mm in diameter.The pin weighs 17.8g. |
