Description: | A copper alloy pin which is 31.5mm long and has a diameter of 7.9mm. The head of the pin is polyhedral. It is biconical with the top part divided into 7 flat faces and a flat top and bottom half also divided into 7 faces. The head is gilded. The shaft is circular in section and is silvered. It does not have a collar or a swollen area. There is a bend near the far end which is broken. Probably about half of the stem survives. The break is not recent. Pins of this style are very difficult to date as they can be Roman or Early medieval.
