Description: | A probably hollow spherical headed pin dating from the Post Medieval period (probably 16th or 17th century) and made of gold. The head is 5.64mm in diameter. The pin head is decorated to imitate filigree and applied knop decoration has probably actually been incised or moulded. The design is a mixture of leaves, flowers, dots and rings. The pin shank is wire, circular in section and tapers to the point. It is curved along its length and there are regular notches in the wire.The pin is similar to filigree and imitation filigree ball headed pins of the 16th century such as SWYOR-538566, LEIC-2A3AB3 and LON-D92F72, but the design is not the usual pattern of circles and applied knops. This may suggest a slightly later date.
