Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy medieval pin, dating to between the 14th and 16th C. AD. Only the sub-globular head and small section of the shank remain (the break has not occurred recently). The head is sub-globular in shape, with a domed top and a bi-conical bottom, leading to the shank. The shank is integral and has a circular section, apart from at the breaking point, suggesting it may have been clipped off. The head is 10.41mm long, 9.29mm wide and 6.1mm thick. The shank is 3.1mm in diameter. The entire object weighs 2.48gm.Similar objects can be seen in Ottaway and Rogers 2002 Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Finds From Medieval York CBA No.12904 - 12908 and WAW-BF6E28.
