Description: | A copper alloy pin dating to the Early Medieval period, (400-1066). The head of the pin is globular with small irregular facets made by hammering rather than being intentionally cast. The shaft is circular in cross-section and terminates with a break. The shaft measures 1.69mm in diameter. At the junction between the head and the shaft is a circumferential collar. The head of the pin is undecorated and the object has a smooth dark brown patina.Pins of this type are typically dated to the mid-late Anglo-Saxon period, c.700-820AD.
