Description: | A broken cast copper-alloy pin with spherical decorated head of early post-medieval date (c. 16th century AD). It is divided into hemispheres by a filigree median band. In both hemispheres are three filigrees circles each with a further three circles within around a raised central pellet. There is a large knop at the centre of the upper hemisphere. On the lower hemisphere the circular-section shaft emerges from this point. It has been bent round and truncated. There are further knops where the circles' circumferences meet with a small filigree circle below each. This trefoil motif can be found paralleled directly in examples found in Norwich (Margeson 1993, 10; refs. 26, 27). This artefact has corroded to a dull red-brown colour, obvious on the shaft and the knops, with much of the head covered in light-green corrosion product. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
