Title
Early Medieval pin
Description
English: An incomplete early Anglo Saxon copper alloy pin dating from c.600-900 AD. The pin has a polyhedral shaped head, it is rectangular with the corners cut off, the sides are irregular rectangle and lozenge shapes. Each section has a raised ring and punched dot inside. Below the head is a worn raised collar, this is worn. The shaft decends from the base of the head, and narrows slightly, before terminating in a worn break. It is circular in cross section. The pin has a dark green patina, inside the recesses of the ring and dots is a light orangey brown colour. The pin measures 32.8mm in length, 6.8mm in width, 3.8mm in thickness, and weighs 1.40g.

The ring and dot decoration is similar to a pin shown in MacGregor and Bolick, page 186, number 31.10. This was found in a inhumation at Stanton Harcourt, which was dated to the 7th Century AD.
