Each facet on the head has ring-and-dot decoration (from the photograph, four ring-and-dot motifs on at least one of the front and back faces, two ring-and-dot motifs on at least one of the side faces, and a single motif on the smaller triangular faces). There is a small collar between the head and shaft. The incomplete shaft is circular and is bent to one side.The length of the pin is 28.0mm and the width is 7.9mm.A similar pin head was found in a context in London dated to the late 8th to mid 9th centuries AD (Cowie and Blackmore 2012, no. S306 from site F, fig. 135 on p.195, fig. 161 on p. 280, Table 56 on p. 278 and see Table 4 on p. 14 for dating).
