The originals are on display at the University of Cambridge's Museum of Archeology and Anthropology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pins were probably used to secure a veil or fine robe, connected by a short gold chain — the precious material indicates an aristocratic or even royal status of the deceased. The tomb, dated between 650 and 680, is one of the earliest known Christian burials in Britain: despite rich, almost pagan grave goods, the gold cross indicates an early conversion to Christianity, shortly after Augustine of Canterbury's missionary journey in 597.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA meaningful pair of pins for those who want to depict the early Anglo-Saxon nobility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celtic WebMerchant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53646662009160,"sku":"17 Trump-Chain bro","price":44.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2892\/7560\/files\/trumpington-pin-replica.jpg?v=1785867851","url":"https:\/\/www.celticwebmerchant.com\/en-ie\/products\/trumpington-robe-pins-with-chain-7th-century-bronze","provider":"Celtic WebMerchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
