Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy pin of Middle Saxon date. The pin has a flattened globular head with a moulded collar at its base. The integrally cast pin shaft is circular in cross section, the lower part has broken away and been lost. There are several similar examples on this database, including LIN-B4C292 and YORYM-C5D4D5. Collared pins with globular heads are generally dated to c. 720-900, and Mainman and Rogers describe pins of this form found in York in a mid-late 9th century context.
