Description: | A copper alloy Roman pin. The pinhead is complete but the shaft is broken. The entire length of the pin is 16.7mm. The pinhead is polyhedral in shape, with 13 facets each either triangular or diamond shaped. The head measures 10.1 x 9.3mm. The pinhead looks more elaborate than a normal polyhedral head, which are cube or cuboid shaped with the corners cut off. The shaft has a circular section. It is impossible to say how long the shaft was or whether it was a straight shaft, or an L-shaped shaft. The pin is otherwise in a good condition. The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour.
