Description: | An incomplete copper alloy gilt pin of probable Post-Medieval date (c.1500-1600), missing part of the pin shank. It measures 49.80mm in length and weighs 2.84g.The head is bi-conical and oval in cross-section, with a median rib and another rib encircling the flattened (circular) top. A pair of such ribs encircle the join with the shaft (the upper of which is slightly misaligned). The head measures 15.97x12.03x7.62mm and is rather squashed on one side. It retains much of its original gilding and has a small hole (from damage) on either face.The pin shaft survives to a length of c.34mm and is c.2.5mm in cross-section below the head. At the break it measures 1.59mm in diameter. Just before the break, the shank is bent a little to one side.
