Two club-headed stick pins
- Period:
- Early Medieval
- Description:
-
Two club-headed stick pins. The longer one is probably for fastening a cloak, the smaller perhaps for pinning a wimple (headdress).
Parallels from Dublin show that these are late in the sequence of stick pins, and probably date from the 12th - 13th centuries.
