Description: | Head from a gilded copper-alloy ball-headed pin, almost spherical in shape and 17mm in diameter. The head is decorated with gilding and raised filigree circles, about 3.5mm in diameter, one of which has inlaid glass within it. In between the circles there are also filigree spirals. The pin head is slightly damaged as there is a square hole in one side of it; through this hole it is possible to see that the head is hollow with the remains of the copper alloy shaft running through it. The rest of the shaft does not survive. The presence of filigree spirals implies that this pin head is middle Anglo-Saxon in date.
