Description: | A copper alloy Early Medieval polyhedral pin of Anglo-Saxon association dating from AD 700 - 870. It has a polyhedral head in the form of a cuboid with the corners faceted creating 13 faces. The top facet is flat and undecorated. The four main faces are decorated with a ring and dot motif, as are each of the four smaller faces below and four smaller faces above the main faces. The lower part is extended and tapers to a very small collar and then the tapering pointed pin shaft. It is possible that the very end of the pin is missing, but this is unclear. The entire object is of an even medium green colour. It measures 67.72 mm long, 7.08 mm wide (at head), 5.88 mm thick (at head), 1.24 mm thick (at pin-end) and weighs 3.26 grams. Cf. PAS database records: FAKL-1AAFBB and SWYOR-31E63.
