Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman hairpin, the shaft is incomplete due to an old break. The head of this pin is biconical in shape measuring c8mm in height and 7mm in diameter. The head tapers into the circular cross-sectioned shaft which is slightly bent and measures 38mm in surviving length and 2mm in width, it is tapering towards its missing tip. This pin is similar from another example from Ixworth, Suffolk (see SF-E53422) and fits into Cool's group 1 (Cool 1990 151-152, fig 1), pins with knob heads which were in use throughout the Roman period.
