Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete lead pin of probable Medieval or Post Medieval date, AD 1200 - 1900. It is very small, and has a slender globular head and a shank of circular cross-section, now bent into an S shape and broken at the end. Measurements are; length 17.7 mm, diameter of pin head 2.9mm, length of pin head 4.2mm and weight 0.45g. No close parallel for a slender pin in lead has been found in Egan and Pritchard (1991) nor on the PAS database, with the closest example being the equally mysterious YORYM-5ABEB0. Lead pin heads are not uncommon, but lead is an unusual material for the shank.
