Dress-pin with bent and broken shaft, and conical head. From the photo, it appears that the head is decorated with radiating lines, possibly beaded. Although it was originally undated, the decoration suggests a Roman date; compare BH-82A289, HAMP-904A96, LIN-47B5D5, BH-326846, etc.

Silver-gilt hollow cast pinhead with bent silver pin attached. The head is spherical with transverse line dividing it into two hemispheres, each with three filigree circles with a further three circles within each. Small applied knops at centre of most of the large circles, broken off in some. Approx 35 mm in length from head to bent back tip of pin. 16th century. Very similar to dress pin reported in Treasure Annual Report 2000, p.94 no.191, in which the pin is similarly (apparently deliberately) bent.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman pin. It is possibly Cool type 12. It has a knob, slightly biconical head that is attached to a shaft that is circular in section. The head has a geometric design on it; it has four sets of two incised parallel lines that radiate out from the centre of the head (rough cruciform shape). These lines do not align perfectly at the apex, and they form triangles on the side of the head. Within each triangle, just above the angle of the dome, are two transverse parallel lines. The group of radiating lines are bordered at their end by a single line t…
