Description: | Incomplete silver bodkin, bent and sheared off just below the longitudinal opening. Rectangular shaped shaft tapering towards a hooked terminal. Traces of engraved ornament at the thicker end, below where the opening would have been. 87mm in surviving length, 5mm in width, c2.5mm in thickness. The lack of engraved ornament or other marks makes it difficult to date this example, probably 17th Century, and of a type often recorded under the Treasure Act, eg: bodkin from Shipdham, Norfolk, Treasure Annual Report 2001, no.156. Examined and described by Dr Dora Thornton, Curator of Renaissance Collections, Department of Prehistory and Europe, The British Museum, under the Treasure Act.
