Description: | Small silver pin with polyhedral head, missing most of its shaft. The head is a rough cube, measuring 4.8mm square at the top; it is 4.2mm tall and there is no collar between the base of the head and the top of the shaft. The corners of the cube have been cut off, leaving tiny triangular facets. All the faces are undecorated. The shaft is circular in cross-section and is 2.2mm in diameter at the top, where it tapers strongly to begin with; it then runs straight down to the fresh unpatinated break, at which it measures 1.5mm in diameter. Total length 15.0mm. Weight 1.0g.Silver pins with faceted heads are characteristic of the middle Anglo-Saxon period (8th to 9th centuries). This example is similar in detail to other examples from Suffolk, such as one from Stoke by Clare (SF-F82072, 2004T421) and one from Baylham (SF-D1FC54, 2003T330).
