Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy pin of probable Middle Anglo-Saxon date. It is missing most of the shaft due to old breaks. The head is biconical in form with transverse collar at the junction of head and shaft. The shaft itself is cylindrical in form, slightly bent due to post-depositional damage, and terminates in old breaks below the head. It measures 32.51mm in surviving (bent) length, 7.68mm in diameter at head, 1.84mm in diameter at shaft, and weighs 2.23g.This pin finds parallels in examples from Suffolk (e.g. West, 1998: nos. 96.8-9; SF-729BE5, SF-44AF71 or SF-342A02). It is likely to be of Middle Anglo-Saxon date, c.700-850 AD.
