Description: | Incomplete copper-alloy pin of Post Medieval, sixteenth century date. Only the head of the pin survives. The head is spherical and hollow with a hole through the top and bottom which would have been used to secure the pin shaft in position. One hole is larger than the other, with one measuring approximately 1.5mm and the other 2.5mm in diameter. The pin head is decorated with a raised design (probably in immitation of filigree) consisting of four four-petaled flowers each with a central raised rounded pellet and each flower is separated from the others by a longitudinal ridge (four in total). Traces of gilding are present in patches on the surface of the pinhead. Many similar pins are already recorded on the PAS database and for a more complete example please see: BH-8A4E02. All such pins are dated c.1500-1600.
