Description: | Fragment of an Early Medieval copper alloy pin, probably 6th-8th century AD. The find consists of the decorative pin head from an Anglo-Saxon pin. The pin head has been cast in a sub-rectangular shape with each long side having five facets: a large central lozenge and four recessed corners. Each lozenge contains four decorative impressed annulets, whilst each corner field contains one annulet. The shaft of the circular-sectioned pin is missing; only a short length remains projecting from the base of the trapezoidal pin head. The pin has a dark olive-green patina, but the surface has remained relatively fine. It measures 15.9mm long and 7.2mm wide, and weighs 3.00 grams.
