Description: | A hollow cast silver-gilt pin head, made in two hemispheres with a double line of filigree around the centre, marked by transverse bands of cable ornament. Each hemisphere is decorated with five applied filigree circles, with four smaller applied filigree circles inside them - each one has a central pellet. At the poles of the sphere five small applied filigree circles can be seen, with a large central knop. There is a circular hole on the line dividing the hemispheres; this is where the pin shaft would have been fixed. The pin is missing. This is a Tudor dress-pins of the 16th Century.Reference: Treasure Annual Report 2005/6. 2008. London: DCMS [page: p158, Fig: 791, Treasure case 2006 T592].
