A Modern gold dental plate. Although the item is of a relatively modern date, it has been included on the database as it is an unusual item to find. This plate is a partial upper plate; the small pins would have held artificial teeth in place, which could have been porcelain or human. Human teeth were used from the 18th century until the 1860's and were often referred to as 'Waterloo' teeth as they were often taken from soldiers on battlefields.
