Title
SWYOR-8A5A4B Medieval Dress Pin
Description
English: An incomplete probably Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) copper-alloy pin consisting of a globular head and part of the shaft, dating from AD 700 - 900. The head, known informally as 'wrythen-headed', is decorated with spiralling grooves. The shaft is circular in cross-section and has a diameter of 3.7mm beneath the head and 2.4mm at the break. There is no collar. The object has a length of 41.6mm, and a maximum width across the head of 8mm. It weighs 4.14g.

Compare IOW-69931B which notes that :"Although spherical heads with grooving are a feature of several of Cool's types of Roman pin (e.g. Cool 1990, Group 13), there is no close parallel to this pin within Roman material. The form is, however, well-known from middle Anglo-Saxon contexts. This example is slightly unusual in that it has no collar between head and shaft. Similar Early-Medieval examples without collars have been recorded from Hamwic (Southampton). See Hinton 1996: 16, ref: Ab1ii.
