Description: | Copper alloy pin. Cast pin with a short round section tapering shank and a spherical head above a triple ribbed cordon, Cool Group 2A. The pin shank is now bent to an S shape which, given its thickness, is probably a deliberate modification of a hair pin, though perhaps still intended to secure an elaborate coiffure. That part of the spherical head nearest the bent tip is also markedly flattened, perhaps rubbed down rather than merely worn. The finder kindly cites BERK-24BC62 as a parallel. Suggested date: Roman, 75-410 Height (as found): 20.5mm, Width: 25.3mm, Diameter (head): 10mm, Weight: 6.08gms
