Description (summary) 2008-08-28 eE A fully preserved copper alloy pin with an indented rounded head. In its current condition the majority of the piece is oxidated and encrusted with dirt. Approximately 2 cm from the point of the pin, there is a small smooth patch of surface that reveals what may been a polished piece. The head shape is slightly flattened and swelled around the point of the indentation, suggesting the head was shaped by hammering with a small blunt chisel. [Input: S828SNP1.j]
2008-09-10 sC Copper-alloy needle (in the Mz. Typoloy corresponds to needle type 1); circular-sectioned shaft tapering, straight and thick; complete; oval eyelet, made through perforation of the shaft. The whole object surface is oxidated and encrusted with soil [Input: S926JW1.j]
