Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, possibly a pin head, of Post-Medieval date. It is biconvex in shape, circular in plan, and with a small terminal at the top end in the form of a globular knop. There is a raised circumferential rib that is moulded to give the impression of a corded band or foliate wreath. The base of the object is flattened and has an integral cylindrical shaft that terminates in an old break. The surfaces have traces of gilding. The entire object measures 9.48mm in diameter, 10.33mm in height, and weighs 1.86g. This is a small decorative terminal, possibly from a pin or similar object, and of probable 16th or 17th century AD date.
