Title
Post Medieval Silver Gilt Dress Pin
Description
English: A Post Medieval silver-gilt ball headed pin dating from the 16th-17th centuries AD. The pin head and pin, which tapers to a pointed end, remain intact. There is a plain band around the hemisphere of the head, where the two sides of the head have been soldered together. The decoration on the upper hemisphere consists of three filigree wire circles with a further three filigree wire circles within this and one central knop. At the centre of the upper hemisphere is a central knop. This design is repeated in the lower hemisphere, with the central knop in the centre replaced by the positioning and insertion of the pin. The pin is bent at a right angle near the head end as would probably have been originally intended and it is slightly misshaped towards the tapered end, with a further bend at the very tip.

Dimensions: Length: 67.18mm, Thickness: 2.13mm, Diameter of pin head: 11.22mm, Weight: 5.2g
