Description: | Early Post medieval silver bodkin, 105mm long, 4mm wide and 3mm thick. The object is in fair condition, but is bent in several places and weighs 10.96grams. It is complete and has a flattened hexagonal section. It begins with a circular suspension loop placed in an oval shaped terminal. Below this is a rectangular incised border containing a flower like motif. Below this is a rectangular slot. The flower motif is repeated below this and then it is decorated with a 'zig-zag' pattern which runs to about its midpoint. This decoration is repeated on both wide surfaces of the object, but one side has the addition of Initials which appear to be HF. Below this is is plain and tapers to a sharp point, which is bent back on itself to form a hook shape.
