Description: | Treasure reference number 2015 T206: an incomplete Middle Saxon silver pin (circa 720-850). The pin has a hollow globular head with a small 'nipple' at the top, and a flat ledge running around the hemisphere. This ledge measures circa 1.5mm in width, and 1mm in thickness. The perimeter of the ledge is decorated with a series of vertical grooves. A small collar is located beneath the head, and from this projects an incomplete shaft of circular section. The shaft measures 2mm in diameter, and is broken 21mm from the head. The shaft turns slightly before the break; this appears to be an intentional feature of the shaft rather than being damage. The break exposes a bright, clean silver interior, suggesting that the break has ocurred within the plough-zone relatively recently.
