Description: | An incomplete Early-Medieval copper-alloy pin. Only the head and a fragment of the shaft survive, the remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn.It has a globular, spherical head with a small transverse collar at its base. The shaft is cylindrical in form before terminating in old breaks.This pin measures 7.87mm in diameter at the head, 1.96mm in diameter at the shaft, 12.47mm in length, 1.82g in weight.Although sharing some similarities with Roman pins, the presence of a collar at junction between head and shaft suggests a middle Anglo-Saxon date for the current example. Similar parallels are noted from Suffolk (West, 1998, no. 96.8) and recorded on the PAS database (SF-ADF757), (SF-99C036).
