Description: | Cast cu-alloy pin with polyhedral head dating from the 8th-12th century AD. D. Griffiths (Meols report) writes: "These pins were cast in cu-alloy (or silver) and finished with filing and punched ring-and-dot motifs on the head facets. Copper alloy examples ares known from Later Anglo-Saxon contexts, at Lower Brooch St, Winchester [...and...] Hamwic, Southampton." Stratified examples from 8th-9th and 10th-12th century contexts were excavated at Coppergate, York.This pin was acquired on e-Bay as 'having come from a collection of 20th century finds from Suffolk'. Unfortunately, we do not have a more exact find spot.
