Description: | A complete cast copper alloy Anglo-Saxon pin, dating from 400 - 720 AD. The head of the pin is flat and sub-triangular in shape with rounded corners. The shaft is circular in section and slim and tapers very gradually to the point, but is bent in several places. The head is decorated with four ring and dot motifs on one face, seperated into four quarters by an etched cross. The opposite side appears plain but any design may be obscured by corrosion. The pin has a dark green patina. A similar pin can be seen on this database at SWYOR-F00A61.The head measures 15.5mm wide, 15mm long and 1mm thick. The complete length of the pin is approximately 28mm long, approximated due to the bends. The stem is circular in section and 1.3mm in diameter. The tip of the pin is blunt and probably broken in antiquity.
