Description: | An incomplete Iron Age copper alloy pin, dating 500-200 BC. The pin is formed of a disc shapoed head on top of a circular sectioned shank that tapers to the point. There is a ridge running around the edge of the head with a decorative rib above and below. On top of the head is a recess in which a decorative material would have been placed, either enamel or coral, though it is no longer present. In the centre of the recess is a peak that would have helped hold the enamel or coral in place. The object has a dark-mid brown pattination and is bent at about 45 degrees halfway along the shank.Dating for this object comes from a similar example recorded by Kevin Leahey on the PAS database (DOR-B177D4).Dimensions: length: 154 mm; thickness of shank: 3.52 mm; diameter of head: 13.09 mm; weight: 13.83g.
