Title
Post-medieval Head-dress Pin
Description
English: A silver head-dress pin or bodkin, broken off at the tip. The shaft has baluster sections of varying length and is circular in section at the broken tip, becoming rectangular in section before the rectangular opening. Above the rectangular opening there is another (flat) baluster section with a small round opening for attachment above. This terminates in a trefoil finial. The decoration is in the form of rows of simple, etched vertical lines above and below the opening and on the finial. The form resembles that of a silver ear-scoop and matching toothpick in the British Museum (P&E 1895, 8-10, 13-4). On these however, the baluster elements are separated by gilt beads (D. Thornton, Treasure Report).
