Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman pin. The head of this pin is roughly bi-conical in shape, it is flattened slightly off centre on its upper face, presumably where it has been hit with a hammer. The head measures 5.7mm in height and 7.09mm in width. The shaft is incomplete due to an old break, and measures 20.6mm in surviving length and has a square cross-section, measuring c2.6mm in width. It is tapering slightly towards its missing tip. Similar pins have been discovered at Colchester and are believed to have been almost certainly from furniture upholstery (Crummy 1983, 115, fig 116).
