Description: | A copper alloy pin head probably dating from the Roman period. The head is polyhedral, having thirteen facets; essentially a cuboid with the corners cut off. The remaining part of the pin shaft is circular in section and there is no collar. It has a light brown patina. It has a length of 17.46mm, width 8.15mm, thickness 8.02mm, weight 2.88g. For reference see HESH-C08C56 on the PAS database. Polyhedral pins are dated to both the Roman and Early Medieval periods. The fact that this pin does not have a collar beneath the head indicates a Roman date.
