Description: | Complete Early Medieval cast copper alloy pin, probably 6th - 8th century AD. The pin has a circular-sectioned shaft that has been folded almost in half, and a sharp point. Where the shaft abuts the pin head, there is a raised rounded collar. The pin head is almost spherical, but has a flat top. The surface is decorated with a random pattern of impressed annulets of slightly differing size. On the flat top of the pin head, a further two annulets have been impressed, inside a circular border. The pin has a dark olive-green patina and is in fine condition. It measures 27.7mm long, 2.1mm thick and the head approximately 8.6mm in diameter. The pin weighs 3.73 grams.
