Title
Post medieval bodkin
Description
English: Description: A silver post-medieval bodkin fragment. Only the terminal end of the eye survives with the start of the rectangular opening through this. The bodkin is decorated on both faces; one face has opposing possible leaf motifs and the other has the letters IS above another possible leaf motif.

Dimensions: 12.51mm in surviving length, 4.50mm in width, 2.18mm in thickness and 0.85g in weight.

Discussion and Date: This bodkin is most likely to be 17th-century in date, and the letters IS are most likely to be the owner's initials. Similar bodkins with engraved decoration, makers' marks and owners' initials are known from elsewhere such as the East Dean area, East Sussex, (2004 T60) (Treasure Annual Report 2004, 123, no 252).
