Description: | Copper alloy pin, possibly from a brooch. Medieval. Mass: 3.5g; length: 20.5mm; width: 18.2mm; thickness: 6.5mm. Sub-lozenge shaped head with the three rivets and an incomplete aperture for a fourth. The rivets have convex heads protruding from the front of the object. The ends of the rivets protrude slightly on the reverse. There is the stub of a shaft at one corner of the sub-lozenge and a slight protrusion at the opposite corner. Some gilding remains of the front of the object, which otherwise has a brown and green surface. Cf. number 820 in ??Metal Artefacts of Antiquity??, which Read identifies as from a medieval brooch which has lost its frame (Read, 2001, p.104 and fig 71).
