Description: | A cast copper alloy globular headed pin, with the stem missing, leaving just a stub at the base of the head. The head is 13mm in diameter and 10mm high. The stem has a section of 3.5mm in diameter, and is 3mm long from the head to the break. Globular headed pins are difficult to date accurately, due to their non-diagnostic style and ease of manufacture meaning they were produced in the Roman and Medieval periods. However, the patina of this pin suggests a Roman date to the recorder.
