The Unknown
Some of the most beautiful artefacts recovered so far have not
yet been attributed. These include a delicate silver filigree pin,
found on a Roman site but not of that period. Another find from
a Roman site was a white metal buckle set with gold rivets (the
one that adorns the home page). A bronze scabbard fragment inlaid
with silver designs is also still unidentified.
Pin Description
One side has rows of silver grains, each less than 1 mm in diameter,
attached to wound silver wire, which has a diameter of about 0.2
mm. The centre of the round ended head shows a cross; the reverse
has lost most of it's grains and has two plates set one above the
other, the topmost having a triangular section pointing downwards.
The plates have a raised edge and may have held stones. The pin
is attached to the head by binding with wire. Badly crushed.
