Title
Early medieval pin
Description
English: An incomplete early medieval copper alloy pin dating from c.600-900 AD. The pin has a polyhedral shaped head, it is globular 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 has been bent twice so the terminal point extends up past the head. It is circular in cross section, with a slight bulge half way. The pin has a light green patina, inside the recesses of the ring and dots is a light orangey brown colour. The pin measures 36.9mm in length,21.6mm in width, 7.3mm in thickness, and weighs 3.20g.

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.
