Description: | A copper alloy pin dating from the Early Medieval period, probably the 9th century. The pin has a flattened sub-triangular head with a notch in the centre of the end (heart shaped). It does not appear to be decorated. There is no collar. The shaft is oval in section and tapers away from the head. Near the tip is a nearly right angle bend, and the point is missing. The pin has a mid green patina. It is similar to NCL-232407, and other pins with triangular heads and ring and dot decoration have been found in York (Mainman and Rogers) dated to the 9th century.
