Description: | A cast copper-alloy pin head of 8th century date (c. 700-c. 800). The head is biconical in form with a median flat band and a small collar beneath. Diameter of collar: 1.9mm. Below the collar a small portion of the shaft is present. The object is largely corroded overall. However, small flecks of a dark green patina are present. The break on the shaft is old. Length: 11.7mm; diameter: 7.1mm; weight: 1.84g. A similar pin from Hamwic (Southampton) has been published (Hinton 1996: 27, ref: Ca2i-26/300). Two other similar pin heads have been recorded from Southrepps Parish, Norfolk. See, Portable Antiquities Scheme find: NMS-D7A977. However, the larger of these pins has a double collar.
