Description: | A cast copper alloy fitting, possibly a pin. The shank of the pin is square in section and tapers to a blunt point. A series of notches have been cut into the edges of the shank, which may have had the function of anchoring the pin into wood. At the widest end the shank expands sharply to a circular collar, diameter 6.45mm. Above this is the spherical head, diameter 7.52mm with a circular perforation, diameter 3.33mm. The pin measures 33.26mm in length. The object is worn and slightly pitted, with a mid greyish green patina. It is medieval to post medieval in date.
