Title
Post Medieval bodkin
Description
English: Fragment of a dress-pin of bodkin type, of Post-Medieval date. It comprises of the head and top of the upper shaft, whilst the lower shaft and pointed tip is lost due to old breaks. The head is rectangular in plan, with a rounded upper terminal and a circular piercing in the centre just below. The head has several indentations at the sides, forming rectangular and ovoid sections. These sections are decorated with incised lines which is echoed (exactly the same) on the reverse face. The rectangular section containing the piercing has incised lines forming a cross (through which the hole is positioned) with two parallel diagonal lines in each quarter above the hole and three parallel diagonal lines in each quarter below. The ovoid section below this is plain. Below the ovoid, a pentagonal section is formed with two vertical lines crossing the length and two mimicking the lower diagonal sides. The final rectangular section below is covered with hatched lines.

The upper shaft extends from the head, formed of a rectangular plate with a central rectangular slot forming two projections. The pin is broken laterally close to the start of the shaft.

An example of similar shape and decoration dated to the seventeenth century is recorded on the PAS database: ESS-1D6F96 (2013 T867).
