Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy pin of middle early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date. The pin head is polyhedral, being a cuboid with the corners cut off. The bottom four corners taper gradually towards the shaft, at the top of which is a worn collar. Each face of the pin head is decorated with impressed dots. The shaft is circular in section and measures only 0.6mm in diameter. Only the top 6.5mm of the shaft survives, the rest having been broken off. The object as a whole measures up to 9.9mm wide by 8mm thick (at the head), and 19.1mm long. It weighs 5.83g.
