Title
F420F0. Post Medieval gilt dress pin
Description
English: A copper alloy gilt dress pin with spherical head. The head is hollow and divided into two hemispheres by a transverse band. Each hemisphere is decorated with three circlets in filigree (each containing three smaller circlets arranged as a trefoil)and with a smaller circle of filigree between them. There are small copper alloy, circular knops in above each of these three smaller circlets as well as a larger knop at the top of the head. There is a circular hole in the underside of the head, which accomodates the thin copper alloy pin shaft. The pin is broken after about 1 cm length. The surface of the pin headed retains traces of gilding.

This is very similar to the more usual silver gilt examples of such dress pins, many of which have been reported in the Treasure Annual reports. These are usually dated to the Tudor period and consequently the same date range is given for this base metal example. DATE: Post-medieval - c.1500 - 1600 Dimensions: 26.10 mm x 13.91 mm (diameter of head) x 1.35 mm (shaft thickness).
