Description: | Treasure case 2006 T627
A 16th ?? 17th century silver head-dress pin, of the ??bodkin type??. The pin has a sub-rectangular section, with rounded corners and tapers to a blunder point.
The pin is complete, but has bent in three places along its length. One of the bends has occurred where there this a rectangular perforation cut into the pin. At either end of this perforation on both of the wider surfaces of the pin, two parallel incised lines have been drawn parallel to the top and bottom of the perforation. The pin continues beyond this perforation to a waisted terminal. A collar then joins the end of the pins shaft to a tear-drop shaped projection (with a circular perforation), which in turn extends into a round ear scoop.
There is no other decoration on the surface of the pin, apart from a markers mark (or possible mint mark) on the underside of the pins shaft. A capital letter R can be seen inside a shield shape. The shield is not parallel to the sides of the pin. | Subjects: | Bodkin type Dress | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
