Title
Post-medieval silver bodkin pin
Description
English: Silver dress pin of bodkin type, dated to the 17th century. The pin is an elongated oval in shape, tapering to a point at one end and a slightly wider curving edge at the other. The curved edge also features an oval 'eye' hole through the pin, close to the edge. This hole looks to have been extended into the surface of the pin on both faces, though not cutting completely through the pin, creating a chased triangular point extending from the eye hole on both faces. The pin is rectangular in cross-section with bevelled edges. The surface is uninscribed.

Dimensions: weight: 4.3g, length: 80.7mm, width: 4.8mm, thickness: 1.7mm

Discussion: The form and decoration of this bodkin are similar to other recorded examples on the PAS database, dated to the seventeenth century: KENT-3F7D97 (2015 T228), SUR-997F8C (2015 T161), LEIC-0CF848 (2014 T50) and SUSS-9D1CE6 (2010 T398).
