Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman pin. It is possibly Cool type 12. It has a knob, slightly biconical head that is attached to a shaft that is circular in section. The head has a geometric design on it; it has four sets of two incised parallel lines that radiate out from the centre of the head (rough cruciform shape). These lines do not align perfectly at the apex, and they form triangles on the side of the head. Within each triangle, just above the angle of the dome, are two transverse parallel lines. The group of radiating lines are bordered at their end by a single line that runs the circumference of the head. The shaft has a single instance of decoration; a single incised line that spirals three times around the circumference of the shaft. It is in good condition with a dark green patina covering. It measures 28.60 mm L x 8.82 mm DIA (of head) x 2.45 mm DIA (of shaft), and weighs 3.12 g.
