Description: | A Medieval - Post Medieval incomplete wood pin probably dating 15th - 17th century. The pointed end of the pin is broken and missing, only the decorated end and the upper section of the shaft remains. The upper end of the pin has been carved to form a pattern comprising three lozenge-shapes with a circular band at each end of the central lozenge. There is some damage to the terminal. The shaft has a square-shaped cross-section which rules this out as a parchment pricker as they consistently have circular cross-sections. Dimensions: length: 59.16 mm; width: 6.57mm; thickness: 5.62mm; weight: 1.48g.
