An incomplete cast copper alloy pin of Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date (c. 720-c. 850). The pin head is sub-spherical in form with fourteen spiralling grooves on the side. At the apex there are two grooves forming a cross. Immediately below the head is a small collar dividing the head from the shaft. The shaft is circular in cross-section and beneath the collar it has a diameter of 1.6mm. It tapers towards the break where the diameter is 1.0mm. Length: 23.6mm; diameter of head: 6.3mm; weight: 1.31g. This pin has a mid-green patina, lost in places due to corrosion. The break …

A copper-alloy pin of middle Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date. The head is polyhedral, with two opposing hexagonal faces, each decorated with four punched ring-and-dot marks. The two vertical side faces bear two such marks and the four angled faces bordering the plain upper face each have a single mark. A collar separates the head from the shaft, the latter element being of circular section, tapering to a damaged point. The point has been bent upwards, probably deliberately.

Early Medieval (Middle Saxon AD750-820) cast copper alloy pin. The head is polyhedral i.e. cuboid with the coins cut off, thereby creating thirteen visible faces. The head is decorated; each of the smaller faces having one ring-and-dot motif. The two larger faces each have four ring-and-dot motifs. The head is separated from the stem by a moulded collar, a characteristic feature on Middle Saxon pins. The incomplete shaft is circular in section. The pin has a length of 33mm, the head has a width of 9.5mm, the stem a diameter of 2mm. The weight is 2.45g.
