Title
2007 T138 Post Medieval bodkin
Description
English: Post-medieval silver bodkin made from thin silver sheet, broader at one end with pierced circular opening and longitudinal opening, tapering to a point (broken) at the other. Bent several times along its length. Weight: 1.27g, length: 85mm. The lack of any decoration or initials suggests this is a bodkin rather than a dress pin. 17th Century. As such, due to its age and precious metal content, this object qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. Dr Dora Thornton, Curator of Renaissance Collections The British Museum
Depicted place (County of findspot) Essex
