Description: | Middle Early Medieval gilded copper alloy disc headed pin fragment, part of head and part of shaft only, 8th or 9th century. The pin head has chip carved scroll decoration, apparently based around C-scrolls. Gilding survives in the incised lines. The border of the head is decorated with a border of very fine, unevenly spaced dots. There is a stepped collar before the shaft, which starts off rectangular sectioned but very quickly (after c.5mm) becomes circular sectioned. This pin is bent upwards and to the left, and broken after c.15mm. The reverse of the object is undecorated with no traces of gilding. Length 26.7mm, width 25.4mm, thickness (including bent pin) 11.0mm, thickness (not including bent pin, across disc) 1.39mm, diameter of pin 2.2mm, weight 2.54g.
