Title
Bronze Age Picardy Pin
Description
English: An incomplete and undecorated Bronze Age copper-alloy Picardy pin (1400 BC-1250 BC).

This object is circular in cross-section throughout its length with a cell/recess at the top and a swollen shaft. At the top, the sides of the cell are vertical. From here the sides taper inwards and then flare outwards before gently tapering inwards towards a transverse break at the bottom. Close to the break a tiny projection may be the reamains of a loop. The depth of the cell is 3.1mm. There is no indication of any decorative material within the cell.

The object has a brown patina with small areas of corrosion. The break may be recent as it has no patina.

Length: 57.4mm; diameter at cell: 9.5mm; diameter at break: 4.2mm. Weight: 15.76g.

Compare with BERK-2E4E35; DOR-CF4B74; FASW-5C5522; GLO-439E61 HAMP-F9F576; NMS-35C944; SF7845 and SWYOR-611591.
