Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy pin of probable post-medieval date. The broadly spherical head survives, but the shaft has been broken after c. 14.8mm. The head is formed of two rows of five globular knops around a central globular knop uppermost. One of the knops on the lower row has been punctured, revealing the head to be hollow. Below the lower row the object tapers to a circular cross-section shaft to which it appears to have been soldered. As well as having broken, the shaft has been bent slightly. The object has corroded to a red-brown colour, consistent with post-medieval artefacts, with patches of variable green corrosion product. This artefact can be compared with a couple of pins already recorded on this database: SUSS-8BA552, HAMP-859AC7.
