Bramble-headed bronze stick pin

Bramble-headed bronze stick pin, with slight swelling in the middle of the shaft. There are traces of tin-plating surviving in the deeper grooves, so when in use the pin would have had a bright silver appearance. It dates to the 8th century AD.   Stick pins were usually used to fasten cloaks, or occasionally wrap-around jackets.
