Description: | A copper alloy Early Medieval pin dating from the 8th or 9th centuries. It is 73.6mm long, 7.9mm wide and 5.1mm thick. It weighs 3.19gm. Te pin is in excellent condition and is complete. It has a polyhedral head which is rectangular in section in the middle, and hexagonal in section at the base (cuboid with the top corners cut off and at the other end, the two narrower faces bevelled to form two faces). Each face is decorated with a ring and dot motif except for the top. There is a transverse collar beneath the head. The shaft is a rounded square in section and tapers to a point. SF-E5B293 is one of the many similar examples on the database, but the shape of the head on this example is a little more unusual. The pin has a glossy green patina.
