Early Medieval copper alloy ringed pin
Upper part of a ringed pin shaft, head intact but ring and lower half (including tip) are missing . The shaft is broad and circular in cross-section but flattens to form a cuboid-shaped head. The apex of the head is rounded and narrow hole (to accomodate a ring) perforates the width of the head. There is visible surface damage and the shaft is bent to form a right angle.
