Description: | A complete copper-alloy pin, measuring 66.2mm in total length. This pin has a biconical head, measuring 8.9mm in width and 7.7mm in height. The shaft has no collar and has a circular cross-section, 2.5mm in width. It is swollen for just over the central third of its length, where it measures 3.9mm in width. It tapers to a bent point. This pin could be either Roman or middle Anglo-Saxon in date. Both periods have pins with swollen middles and biconical heads. Middle Anglo-Saxon pins do often, but no always have a collar, which this example does not have. This pin could have been used to secure hair or clothes.
