Record ID: YORYM-F5D874
Object type: PIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Early medieval copper-alloy pin head (c. 500 - 900 AD). The pin has a globular head and a tapering, cylindrical shaft, which has broken off at the end. Green and red corrosion of the copper-alloy has obscured surface detail, but shallow circular knobs on the surface of the globular pin head suggest that the pin may have been decorated. It is this that suggests an early medieval date over a Roman one. The length of the pin is 25.12mm, the diameter of the pin head is 25.12mm and the pin weighs 2.94g.
The pin is very similar to YORYM-8E158E, which was found in close proximity to it.
