Copper alloy cast pin, probably Medieval, possibly of 14th or early 15th century date
The pin is complete, with a slightly distorted shank (with a length of 142.4mm and a weight of 6.3g).

Record ID: NMGW-E8F8A8
Object type: PIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Swansea
Workflow stage: Published
A loop-headed ringed pin, with slightly pitted, stripped surface and golden colour (typical of some beach finds). The ring has a dark corrosion layer on the surface, remnants of which also survive on the shaft. The ring is of 'fixed' type, with a constriction where it fits through the loop head of the pin; the pin can therefore swing, but not move freely around the ring. The ring is of lozenge cross-section, and is decorated with five groups of transverse incised lines. The pin has a raised transverse moulding at the junction of the loop head with the shaft. The shaft changes in cross…
