Description: | Early medieval copper alloy pin with decorative head. The pin has a polyhedral head with lozenge-shaped facets and chamfered corners. Each of the four lozenge shaped facets bears a ring and dot motif and the pin has a flat top. Immediately below the head is a collar and the shank extends below this. The shank tapers towards the tip and bends slightly about two thirds of the way down and is broken before the tip. The pin measures 32mm in length and 7mm in width across the head, and weighs 2.9g.
A very similar parallel can be seen in ??Anglian and other finds from Fishergate??
