This is a replica of a 7th Century Anglo-Saxon Pin (possibly used as a cloak pin) found in a barrow on Breach Down in Kent, UK.
The head takes the form of a cross and the body is decorated with ring and dot pattern.
The original this is based on is now kept in the British Museum in London (museum no. 1855,0521.1).
Cast in brass using lost wax technique, original master carved and cast by Stuart Makin of Jackhammer Forge. Dimensions: 126mm long by 26mm wide.
Living History is making history come to life, and there are groups around the country that weekend in and weekend out (and some days in between) will set up a living history encampment, although at the moment my pages are focused generally upon the Migration, Saxon/Viking age, many of the items are transferable to other periods such as Roman and Crusade and earlier/later.
We hope this section can provide you with items to enhance your display, and if you're not a re-enactor, then also to enhance your home.
Please note that some wooden items may no longer be in stock throughout event season however please contact me to replicate anything you may see and like.
