Description: | An incomplete pin of probable middle Early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date.
The head, which has been cast in lead, is ovoid and has a series of raised lines, which divide the surface into eight segments of roughly equal size; at the centre of each of these segments is a single moulded pellet. The head is poorly-finished and on one side there is excess lead attached. The shaft is made of iron and has been passed though a hole in the pin head; it is visible at the top of the pin head, whilst one the underside only a few millimetres survive.
The object measures 15.2mm high, 11.3mm wide and weighs 8.27g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 720
