Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy polyhedral pin. The pinhead remains complete but the shaft is bent and broken. The entire length of the surviving pin is 30.9mm. The polyhedral head has thirteen faces in the form of a cube with the corners cur off and all faces are undecorated. The shaft has a circular section, but only a very small portion remains. Therefore it is impossible to say how long it originally was or whether is was straight or L-shaped, it is now very bent. The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour and in a poor pitted condition. These pins have been identified as being either Roman or Early-medieval.
