Description: | A copper-alloy artefact of uncertain date and function. A parallel for this piece is recorded on the PAS database (see BH-844830) and was described as being a probable pin head of medieval date. It seems likely that both artefacts are pin heads but, on reflection, a Roman date is more likely.The pin head is dish-shaped, the upper surface containing a large setting which is partially filled with a corroded white glass or enamel inset. Protruding from the centre of the convex underside is a remnant of the integral, circular-sectioned shaft.The object measures 14.9mm in diameter, 6.6mm high and weighs 5.49g.
