Description: | Copper alloyPossible Pin, as identified by finder. Cast pin with small bun-shaped sub-spherical head and a short thick tapered shank; corrosion leaves it uncertain whether a moulded collar lies between head and shank. The small head and thick shank distinguish this object from the majority of pins, whether used as dress fastening items - for which this example would be robust enough - or for pinning hair or veil. Suggested date: Roman to Early Medieval, 40-850.Length: 32.4mm, Diameter (head): 5.3mm, Weight: 1.75gms.
