Description: | Black opaque glassProbable Pin. Fragment, probably from the expanded section of the shaft of a hipped pin. Though pins of jet were made in the Roman and later periods, this reporter is unaware of examples made of glass. This is most likely to be an item of jewellery imitating jet, a material which became especially fashionable for mourning wear after the death of Queen Victoria's beloved consort Prince Albert in 1861. The object is perhaps water worn, though prolonged abrasion against hair or clothing might impart a similar smoothing. Reported along with another item of black glass. Suggested date: Modern, 1850-1900.Length: 42mm, Diameter: 5.6mm, Weight: 2.14gms. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
