Description: | Pin from an annular brooch, made from cast copper alloy. The loop is open and there is no moulding at the top of the shaft. The shaft is sub-rectangular in section; towards the tip the top of the shaft dips down and then rises again. There is a corresponding cutaway area on the underside, but the very end has corroded away. There is some controversy as to whether cutaway tips are a deliberately made feature or whether they are caused by wear, but the fact that this cutaway is mirrored on the top by a bump (which cannot be caused by wear) argues for the former. The pin's surviving length is 41 mm. It has a brown patina with green corrosion beneath.
