Title
A complete copper alloy pin, of mid-late early medieval (Anglo Saxon) date (650-950 AD)
Description
English: A complete copper alloy pin, of mid-late early medieval (Anglo Saxon) date (AD 650-950). This is a globular headed pin, Rogers Type 1 (2009) . The head is globular in shape, well rounded and smooth, leading to a collar, a feature which is taken as a key indication of an early Medieval date. the shank would have been straight but is now bent at about a third of the way down with a swollen lower section leading to a narrow point. The object does not appear to be decorated in any way. There is green patination across the entire object but it appears to be in good condition otherwise.

Dimensions: length: 55.04 mm; thickness at swelling: 2.11 mm; weight: 1.04 g.
