A complete silver gilt dress pin. The silver head is hollow and spherical and decorated with silver wire filigree and raised bosses. A thicker flattened strip of silver divides the head into two hemispheres. At the top there is a cylindrical knop which gives the appearance that the shaft goes through the head. The shaft survives to its pointed terminal- it is circular in cross section, tapering to a sharp point. It is bent to just above 90 degrees, probably as part of post depositional damage. There is a circular loop just where the head and shaft of the pin join. Each hemisphere i…
