Silver pin for a ring-headed pin. The bow fastening and the lower part of the pin have stamp decoration in the form of small closely positioned triangles and engraved lines all reinforced with niello. The pin is misshapen and bent by 90 degrees and therefore broken. Part of hoard find, Sigsarve, Hejde Parish, Gotland.
