Description: | An early-medieval copper-alloy pin with a polyhedral head. The head is biconical with a flattened top; it is faceted with thirteen visible faces. It is 7.4mm in diameter and 7.0mm thick. It is decorated with punched ring-and-dot on eight of these faces: three on the lower half (dot-gap-dot-gap-dot-gap), four on the upper half (dot-dot-gap-dot-gap-dot) and one on the top (dot(!)). Below is a raised collar, a characteristic feature on middle Anglo-Saxon pins. The shaft is circular in cross-section and 1.9mm in diameter at the top. After 35.2mm the shaft swells slightly to a maximum diameter of 2.1mm before tapering to the now blunted point. The pin is slightly bent and survives in good condition. Surviving length 68.7mm, weight 2.6g
