Description: | Middle Saxon pin head and part of the shank. It is 27mm in length 11mm of which is comprised of the pin-head. The head is of 4mm square cross section and at its upper end is rounded at the corners either by design or through wear. The lower end of the head tapers gradually to the shank which is circular in section and initially is 1mm in diameter, tapering to a point at the other end, probably through wear as the point is probably an old break. The pin shank remnant is 16mm in length but bends back on itself towards the head after 5mm. Each face of the pinhead is a decorated with a ring and dot design approximately half way along its longitudinal length. The object is brown in colour.
