Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy pin of probable Middle Anglo-Saxon date. It is missing the lower half of the shaft due to old breaks. The pin has a biconical head with flattened and slightly faceted median band. At the base of the head is a small collar from which extends the shaft. This is cylindrical in form and terminates in old breaks just below the head. The pin measures 11.04mm in length, 8.63mm in diameter (at the head; 2.11mm at shaft), and weighs 2.05g. Similar pins noted on the PAS database (for example LIN-AB3143, WMID-1E7FA6, or NLM-198FD6) suggest a Middle Saxon date for this example, thus c.720-900 AD.
