Description: | An incomplete pin of probable Medieval to early post-Medieval date.The head of the pin takes the form of a lead-alloy dodecagon: it has a central cuboid, with a pyramid at the top and an inverted pyramid at the base. A relief-moulded pattern of cross-hatching decorates the four surfaces of the central block. The four angled surfaces at the top each bear a moulded ring-and-dot motif, while the angles are marked by ridges; there is also a pellet at the top point. The angled surfaces at the base of the head are undecorated. The head is poorly formed, with deeply concave surfaces in the central block attesting to problems with the casting process. A short portion (approximately 4mm) of iron shaft protrudes vertically from the base of the head.Dimensions: 16.8mm long, 9.1mm wide (head). Weight: 4.82g.
