Description: | Copper alloy pinhead probably middle Saxon, possibly Roman. This pinhead is globular with a diameter of 9.06mm. It has an over all length of 12.16mm and weighs 3.07g. It is decorated with ring and dots, numbering at least 16. Beneath the pinhead only 3.08mm survives of the circular shaft. The object is abraded and only a tiny patch of the original surface survives with a mid green patina, otherwise the pinhead is mostly light green in colour. The break edge on the shaft is worn, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. Unfortunately the wear at the pin shaft makes it impossible to tell with any certainty whether a collar survives, which would indicate the Saxon date, so a broad date range is given.
