Title |
Roman hair pin |
||
Description |
English: A complete copper-alloy Roman hair pin in extremely good condition. Measuring 151mm in total length with a roughly circular cross-section, 3.6mm in width and c3.6mm in thickness. It tapers to a point at the terminal end but the head end is very unusual as it has an integral tiny Roman key depicted.
This key is 18.2mm in length and 5.9mm in width, it is flat with a circular hole representing its bow a rectangular stem decorated on the front face with transverse grooves and a rectangular bit set at right angles to the stem, decorated with an incised zigzag on the front face. No published parallel could be found for this pin but it could be classified loosely as Cool Group 18 sub-group C, which is a group of pins which have heads which are representational of particular objects other examples include axes, group 18 is very disparate and other sub groups have heads representing animals and human figures (Cool 1990, 168, fig 11 1-3). It has a very distinctive pale green patina which is smooth and shiny to the touch. |
