Description: | Post-medieval silver pin. Silver dress pin with heart-shaped hollow-cast (?) head with knop; at the centre of one side an applied cast flower-head, possibly a Tudor rose with engraved petals. The pin bent and complete. Head approx 1.5 cm long. This pin belongs to the same class of object as the spherically-headed pins with filigree ornament, but represents a type not yet recorded under the Treasure Act. Probably 16th Century.
