Title
Head dress pin
Description
English: An incomplete silver head dress pin. The lower half of the shaft of this pin survives, it measures 55mm in length and its tip is now bent. The shaft is rectangular in cross-section and tapers to a point, it is 5mm wide at its widest point. At the missing end of this pin the beginning of a rectangular perforation can be seen. Both faces of the shaft are decorated with an incised design, consisting of rounded zig-zags and V-shaped incisions. On one face the letters 'EM' can also be seen, which may be initials. Similar silver head dres pins have been discovered in Aslacton, Norfolk and are believed to be 17th century in date (Margeson 1993, 9, plate III).
