Title
Middle Early-medieval pin (probably)
Description
English: An incomplete pin of probable middle Early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date.

The head, which has been cast in lead, is ovoid and has a series of raised lines, which divide the surface into eight segments of roughly equal size; at the centre of each of these segments is a single moulded pellet. The head is poorly-finished and on one side there is excess lead attached. The shaft is made of iron and has been passed though a hole in the pin head; it is visible at the top of the pin head, whilst one the underside only a few millimetres survive.

The object measures 15.2mm high, 11.3mm wide and weighs 8.27g.
