<description>
<full>A middle&#45;late early&#45;medieval copper&#45;alloy stylus. The pin is in three parts, and though each piece displays old and  worn breaks, all three pieces are likely to form the majority of the same pin.
The head is spatula&#45;shaped, flat and has two pairs of narrow collars next to it. The &#39;central&#39; piece has a promenant reel near one break with three narrow reels immediately to either side. The shaft is decorated below one set of reels with four incised crucifixes. Two are aligned with the top facing the spatula, and two with the top facing the pin terminal. The crucifixes alternate one up, one down. The third &#39;terminal&#39; piece is decorated with two narrow bands set with a recessed groove to either side. The pin tapers to the point.</full>
