Description: | A copper-alloy possible pin most likely to be Roman in date. No parallel could be found for this object and it consists of an oval cross-sectioned shaft which tapers to a point. It measures 69mm in length and 6.9mm in width and 6.3mm in thickness at the wider end and 2.2mm by 2mm in width at the tapering end. The wider end has a flat top with a small circular indentation in its centre. The shaft is decorated with three circumferencial moulded decorative bands around the wider end of the shaft. This decoration is very worn and the surface of the object is in a bad condition, it has a brown patina with patches of green active corrosion and around the wider end of the shaft the metal seems to have be corroding and flaking off in layers.
