Description: | A copper alloy Early Medieval pin with incomplete shaft, the lower part of which is missing due to old breaks. The head is polyhedral in form (a cuboid with the corners cut off), rectangular in section and has thirteen faces. These are undecorated, and there is a narrow, raised transverse collar at the join of head and shaft. Beneath the collar the shaft is circular in section and 1.9mm in diameter. The object measures 15.89mm in overal length, 9.66mm in width across the head, and weighs 4.28g. A similar pin also from Sutton is recorded at SF-57AED1, and another is noted in West, 1998: no. 128.5. A probable middle Anglo-Saxon date range in the 8th-9th centuries AD is suggested.
