Title |
Early medieval pin head with runic inscription |
||
Description |
English: A copper alloy pin head probably dating to the 8th century.
The object is sub-circular in plan and flat with an irregular edge.There is a possible hole through the middle which is visible on both sides of the object however it is now corroded over. The back of the object is undecorated and irregular with some areas of active corrosion. The front of the object is decorated and gilded. Around the circular hole there is a circular incised border. Around the circular border are a series of incised runic letters. These letters consist of letter of the Futhorc script, numbers 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 of the Dickins (1932: 16) transliteration. Based on this version of the alphabet the numbers 23 and 24 are reversed. This would suggest that the inscription does not make sense. A similar example, the Malton Pin (British Museum number 2000,0508.1) is held by the British Museum. The Malton Pin is more complete with a double incised border and the pin is attached to the back of the disc. Like this example, the it has a series of letters found in the Futhorc alphabet and it is suggested that. The Malton Pin is suggested to date to the 8th century AD. Also compare LANCUM-EEFFFB and HAMP-0EE512. Reference: Dickins, B. (1932) 'A System of Transliteration for Old English Runic Inscriptions' in Leeds Studies in English 1: 15- 19. |
