Title
Silver gilt dress pin
Description
English: A 16th century silver-gilt hollow cast spherical dress pin head with part of the pin surviving. The head is decorated with applied filigree ornament in two hemispheres joined by a plain band. Within each hemisphere, four circles each contain a four-petalled flower. In the top hemisphere, the flowers each have a knop in the centre but there are no knops within the flowers on the bottom hemisphere. On either side of the plain band are four small filigree circlets (one missing in the top hemisphere), each surrounded by three knops. There is a prominent knop at the top of the head, which is surrounded by four smaller knops. There are four knops at the base surrounding the area where the pin extends. At 15mm in diameter, the pin head is a rather large example of its type. The pin is well preserved with a fair amount of the original gilding surviving on the surface of the pin head.
