Description: | Roman copper alloy hair pin, 81mm long, 10mm in diameter at head and 3mm at shaft. The object is in fair condition and weighs 4.89grams. The pins head is sub spherical in form with a rounded upper surface which terminates at a straight sided central band. Below this band the head is conical and where it merges into the shaft is marked by two narrow raised collars. There is no other obvious decoration on the object. The shaft tapers slightly to a point and it is bent about halfway down.The head is similar to but not a match for pins in Hilary Cools groups 11-13, having a globular head and double collars.
