Description: | An incomplete copper alloy pin which is probably early medieval in date. The pin head is a cuboid with the corners cut off and the four main faces and the top are decorated with a ring and dot motif. There is a slight collar and the shaft is circular in section, but only 7mm survives before a straight break which is not recent. The pin is 15mm long, and the head is 5.7mm wide and 4.7mm thick. It is in good condition and has an even light green patina. Similar examples can be seen in West's (1998) "Corpus of Anglo Saxon Material from Suffolk", and this example probably dates from the eighth or ninth century (Geake, 2001, Finds Recording Guide).
