> I got this artefact made of elephant ivory, dated between 1250 and 1450 AD, from the central Netherlands. It derives from a moated site. The object is broken, but measures 113mm in length. The pin below the bulbous part measures 13,7mm.

Far from my 13-15th century date. I also found much longer and more slender pins made of silver. Has anybody here seen anything similar? And does anyone have other suggestions regarding its function?
