Description: | Copper alloy pinhead from a middle Saxon pin. This pinhead is globular with a diameter of 5.98mm. It has an over all length of 11.46mm and weighs 1.29g. It is decorated with a ring and dot motif. Beneath the pinhead is a collar and beneath that only 3.6mm survives of the circular shaft. The object is very abraded and only a tiny patch of the original surface survives, otherwise the pinhead is mostly light green in colour. The break edge on the shaft is worn, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. A close parallel can be found in West 1998, A Corpus of Anglo Saxon material from Suffolk, page 221, figure 103, number 3.
