Description: | A copper-alloy pin of probable 16th century date. For a similar pin, albeit in silver, see TAR 2005/6: 158, no. 791.
The head of the pin is hemispherical (although it may originally have been spherical), hollow and has applied decoration on its upper surface. This decoration takes the form of three filigree circles, each containing a three smaller circles and a central knop. A small filigree circle below a single knop also separates one large circle from the next. At the centre of the head is a single, larger knop. A filigree border extends around the base of the head. The now-bent shaft element has been attached to the underside of the head. It is of circular section and tapers to a point. Traces of gilding remain on the head.
The artefact measures 36.6mm long, 12.6mm wide at the head and weighs 2.82g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
