Description: | A complete cast copper alloy ring-headed pin of early Iron Age date. The pin is formed from a single piece of copper alloy. The head is formed from a loop of the metal and is decorated with a series of radiating incised lines. Shortly below the head the shaft bends three times at near 90 degree angles, resulting in a 'C' shaped bend, before tapering off to the point. The shaft is undecorated and the whole piece has a circular section. The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and survives in good condition. The bent pin is 61.5mm long, 36.4mm wide, 3.2mm thick and weighs 6.8g. A similar example can be seen on the database Find ID: BERK-4045E7.
