Description: | The head of a silver gilt pin of 16th century date.The pin is incomplete, with only the base of the shaft remaining on the base of the spherical head. The head is separated into an upper and lower half by an equator formed by two bands of filigree loops. There are six large filigree rings, three above and three below a midline. Inside each ring there is a trefoil with a small central boss. In between each of the large rings there is a smaller ring abutting the circumferential ridge with a boss above. There is another larger boss at the peak of the pin head. The remaining shaft of the pin is circular in cross section. Some gilding remains on the pinhead, mostly on the lower half. Not all of the knops are still remaining; some still visible but damaged and a couple missing altogether.See also 2011 T695 for a parallel.
