Description: | Cast copper-alloy pin from an annular brooch. Large and chunky, it has an open loop, a rectangular-section shaft, a moulding with four transverse grooves at the top of the shaft, and a shaped tip. The underside of the tip is curved, either deliberately or through wear, so that the pin can fit neatly on the frame of the brooch. As the top edge and the sides also have a slight waist just before the curve starts on the underside, it seems likely that the curve is deliberate and not just due to wear. Filemarks are visible on the sides of the pin.
