Incomplete gilded silver pin from an early-medieval annular or penannular brooch. It has a D-shaped or pentagonal cross-section, with a flat undecorated reverse and a rounded or angled front.

The pin may be broken here (although the end is concave and its surface is even and fairly smooth), but it is possible that the panel was always …
