Description: | Rectangular cross-section pin that tapes towards a point, the other end is truncated with remains of a rectangular opening at the tip. Below the opening on both sides are engraved two sets of double chevron ornaments with a triple band above. The pin was bent at three points in antiquity. However, it has now been straitened by the finder resulting in three deep transverse cracks in one side of the shaft.This artefact dates to the 17th century, similar parallels have been recorded in the Treasure Annual Report 2005/6, 2006 T462 and 2006 T168 (DCMS, 2009, 135 &361, 362)
