Bronze stick pins, Whithorn
A group of bronze stick pins with decorated heads. The different
patterns on the heads allow the pins to be dated - this group are
from the 10th - 12th century, and closely match groups of pins
known from Irish sites such as Dublin. Whithorn has the
largest number of stick pins from any site in Scotland.
Stick pins were usually used to fasten cloaks, or occasionally
wrap-around jackets.
