The shaft has been bent and both terminals of the object are missing due to old breaks; the upper portion of the bodkin or pin is bent through a 45 degree angle.The shaft has a rectangular cross-section and tapers to the lower broken terminal, presumably once a point. The upper section is broken across the rectangular slot at the upper end, with one side of the slot extending further than the other. It is slightly distorted along the whole length.The Bodkin is undecorated on both faces apart from two letters incised under the rectangular slot on one side. These letters are AH.Many similar examples have been recorded including NMS-07864A, NMS-144545 and WAW-8B5CB3.The bodkin is 63.7mm long, 3.7mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 4.10 grams
