An incomplete cast copper-alloy probable pin head in the form of a male head of late Iron Age to early Roman date. At the top of the object the hair is represented with longitudinal incisions which run from horizontal semi circular band along the back of the head towards the hollow depression located at the bottom of the head. Below the semi circular band is a undecorated area which depicts the forehead. Below the forehead are two adjacent transverse semi circular incisions which depict eye brows (8.85mm wide). A ridge which depicts the nose runs from where the incisions for the eyebrow converge before terminating above the mouth (4.6mm in length). Either side of the nose is a broadly triangular recess which depicts the eyes. The mouth is depicted with a shallow horizontal groove (2.9mm wide). The head tapers towards the chin. Two D shaped ears are located either side of the face under the incisions which depict the hair (3.75mm in length, 2.3mm wide). The right ear is filled with iron corrosion. At the base of the head, located at the neck is an oval recess which is filled with mid to light green corrosion product (4.1mm wide, 2.95mm in length).
A pin head also probably representing a male is known from excavations in Colchester (Crummy 1983, 30 no. 503 fig. 31) and a parallel can be found on the database HAMP-1E6536. A similar depiction can be found on the database recorded as a figurine of Iron Age date: SOMDOR-DC9D32. The depiction of the head bears more similarities to the example from Dorset.

An incomplete copper-alloy pin of Middle Iron Age date, decorated in 'plastic style'. The pin has a large knobbed head, consisting of a spherical head with a slightly flattened base with multiple motif decoration. The main body of the head is broadly circular in plan and D shaped in cross section with multiple knops, projections and grooves. It is 17.15mm long and 16.95mm wide). On opposite faces are two broadly D shaped raised sections that join forming an oval raised platforms which due to the contours of the head appear to be higher at either end (12.25mm long, 2.9mm maximum height). The lower D shaped raised section curves in upon itself to form the base for a cylindrical knop (3.0mm high) with a circular projection at the tip. The tip of the top D shaped raised section on one face and the bottom of the lower D shaped raised section of the lower face expand into the adjacent face of the pin head to form the base for a further two cylindrical knops with circular projections at the top. At the top of the pin head are two incised vertical grooves that run from one side of the pin head to the other separating the two raised oval platforms. The areas of the pin head which do not have raised platforms or incisions have been decorated with extremely fine circular punches. The pin head is damaged in places and areas of decoration are missing. At the base of the pin head is a circular band which connects to a concave cylindrical projection before expanding for form a raised collar (6.9mm wide) which connects to the incomplete shaft. The incomplete shaft is circular in cross section (max 3.5mm thick) and is 41.25mm in length due to an old break.
The pin is damaged and corroded in places. The head has a mid grey patina, suggesting a higher tin content and the shaft has a mid green patina.
