Silver bodkin-type dress-pin with ear scoop on one end, and tapering to a point at the other end. The shaft has a flattened quadrangular cross-section, and engraved on both sides between the head and threading hole is a flower-head motif, with a flower repeated below the eye. Approximately half way down the shaft is a small stamp bearing the intials T.G or I.G.
The pin is bent, with a break at the bottom of the eye.
Site Name: St Athan, Vale of Glamorgan
Notes: Found during an arranged metal-detecting rally, the bodkin was found on a ploughed field about 6 inches below the surface.
