A silver-gilt ornament of Insular origin from a Viking age burial in Norway is here identified for the first time as the pin-head of a ring brooch of pseudo-penannular form. The decoration and typology of the pin-head are discussed in relation to Insular metalwork, and its iconography is considered in the context of Early Christian art. The pin-head and an associated ringed pin are dated to the eighth or ninth century
