Post Medieval dress pin |

| Description |
English: An incomplete lead-tin alloy post-medieval dress pin dating to c AD 1500 - 1650. The head is solid and sub-spherical, 16.02mm in diameter. Only a small piece of the circular cross sectioned shaft remains, measuring 1.60mm. The base is flanked by two pellets and an embedded white quartz fragment, probably post-depositional.
The head is decorated with cast, raised decoration. It is divided into two hemispheres by a line formed of conjoined pellets running from the pin to the top of the head and back. One hemisphere is slightly smaller or squashed, possibly from the mould slipping. Each hemisphere is decorated with an equal armed cross formed of crossing pairs of raised lines. In the centre of each cross is a pellet and two pellets decorate each arm. In the quarters are unclear designs of pellets, probably fleur de lis with an extended central leaf. The pin head has a dark grey patina and is 17.7mm in total length including the pin and weighs 10.07g. Similar spherical pin heads decorated with raised lines and pellets are more commonly preserved in silver-gilt and copper alloy, see for example, SOM-3F233A, SOM-66CE77 and SOM-CD8CD7. It is likely only the burial conditions in river mud preserved this pewter based example. Margeson (1993:11) discusses such pins including the lead and pewter examples and suggests a 16th century date. Other lead-tin examples on the database include SOM-D9D7D5 and BUC-DCBFC3. |
