Title
Probable Early Medieval dress pin
Description
English: Copper alloy probable pin. Sheet metal pin with expanded flat-topped head with angular sides conferring an angular biconvex form and bearing a drilled hole of diameter 3.3mm. Below the head, the sheet metal is rolled with an overlapping seam; the shank remains hollow at its broken end; the tip is lost. The hole suggests a use as a dress fastener of a form which would recur in other materials, notably pins made from pig fibulae; and was probably for a cord. The rolled construction of a pin rather than its solid casting recalls some Romano-British objects from the region. While a possible association with a range of other early medieval grave goods commends an interpretation as a dress fastener, later material is present, and a use as a netting needle of later date cannot be ruled out, as rolled needles were still in use in the high medieval period. Suggested date: probably Early Medieval, 450-600.
