2008-09-11 sC pin [Input: S917LC.j]
Description (summary) 2008-08-20 eE a complete copper alloy pin with a well-preserved spiral head. This portion of the piece was likely hammered flat after being "drawn out" or physically extended and displaced from a cylindrical shape. Once the flattened part was drawn out, it was hammered gradually into its final spiral head shape. This element was most likely decorative. Despite heavy oxidation and soil encrustation, both the head and point are excellently preserved. [Input: S823SE.j]
2008-09-11 sC Plain pin with circular section shaft and rolled head (it corresponds to type 4-VAR of the Mz. Typoloy); the shaft is flattened at one end and rolled/curled round to form head; slightly bent shaft, tapering toward pointed end; complete. The surface is characterized by a heavy soil incrostation and oxidation, which makes difficult to detect the original diameter of the shaft [Input: S917LC.j]
