Title
Post Medieval bodkin
Description
English:

A copper alloy Post-Medieval bodkin. It is a narrow and rectangular, formed from 1.5mm thick copper alloy sheet. It is bent and distorted. A rectangular longitudinal opening about 8mm in length, is present near the upper terminal, which is decorated with a small lis or trefoil. The bodkin has a rectangular section and tapers towards its lower terminal which is missing. The break is patinated. There is no evidence of any decoration. The surviving length of the bodkin is 83.7mm. It is 5.2mm in width, 1.5mm thick and weighs 3.27g. Compare SF-11A197 which is similarly plain, and which notes that: "Similar bodkins, usually of silver and decorated, date to the seventeenth century. Margeson 1993 illustrates a larger but similar, eighteenth century, example from Norwich.".
