Description: | A complete copper alloy pin with kite-shaped terminal dating to the early medieval period, c. AD 900 to AD 1100. The object has a cylindrical section which tapers to a point. At the wider end of the pin there is a flat, lozenge shaped terminal attached at one of its points. At the remaining three points there are small, circular knops. The surface of the object has corroded which makes any decoration unclear. Similar examples have been found during excavations at Coppergate and Fishergate in York. It has been argued that they are of an Irish type and moved with the Anglo-Scandinavian presence and several have been found across England including in London (Mainman and Rogers 2000: 2579-80). There are several examples recorded on the PAS database, see SWYOR-0D5863, SWYOR-6C6612, YORYM-C60150 and SWYOR-53AEC4.
