The flat head is in the form of a human head, possibly a king??s head. The head is facing and has a curved hand on his head which has three grooves and may be the band of a crown. Above the band, is a triangular projection at end with a square pellet on, which may in fact be the side fleurs of the crown. The face is very stylised with a large nose which is connected to the eyes by swirling line. The curved bushy, chin length hair is decorated with square pellets. At the back of pin head is a drilled shank which would have contained the shaft of the pin.
