Object type: PIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Central Bedfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead or lead-alloy pin head of probable middle early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date. A very similar artefact was recorded from Hertfordshire (see PAS record no. BH-2F6144). The suggested identification is based on comparisons with similar and more complete examples (see, for example, S. West; 1998; fig. 3). The cast pin head is polyhedral. The front face has four sub-oval flattened areas, the back and underside are plain and slightly convex. The now-missing shaft would presumably have been soldered on to the underside of the head. The object measures 8.7mm wide, 8…
