Prehistoric — Late Bronze Age
Pin
Bronze pin with inlaid globular head. The top of the head is decorated with nine hatched triangles arranged in a circle around an inset pierced bead, probably made of amber. The sides of the head have four similar, evenly-spaced beads, each separated by a hatched triangle. On the underside of the head more hatched triangles radiate from the shaft, the top of which is decorated by horizontal lines. An imported piece from West Central Europe.
