Description: | Complete pin of a type normally associated with Fowler Type F penannular brooches. The pin is 70mm in length and has a broad head with a concave moulding and raised double band to either side. The external diameter of the head is 8mm. The head would have been a complete band, however there is a thin linear fracture running the width of the head on the underside. The shaft is oval in section, with the wider side facing forwards. Just below the head the pin shaft is 3mm in width and gradually tapers towards the pointed terminal. The pin is slightly bent downwards half way along its length, and again at its tip. Large penannular brooches of this type are not common in East Anglia. Their dating is broadly 4th - early 6th century, probably focussed in the 5th rather than 4th century.
