Description: | A cast copper alloy pin, probably dating to the middle Anglo-Saxon period (AD 720 - 850). The pin has a flattened biconical head (globular) with a long tapering conical lower part, tapering underneath to a narrow pin shaft. The shaft measures 2.4mm in thickness. The diameter of the head is 8.9mm. The shaft is broken and only survives to a length of 14.4mm. There is a small narrow collar around the shaft, at the junction between the shaft and the head. The pin head and the shaft are both undecorated. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour and the original patina survives as a smooth, glossy surface - but it is also quite pitted.
