Description: | Plate, perhaps from a strap clasp or book clasp, made by folding a long rectangular strip of copper alloy in half. There is a wide circular gap at the fold, 5.5 mm in external diameter. The strip tapers at the fold to 6 mm wide, presumably to accommodate some kind of frame. One half is decorated with an engraved motif, probably a plant, which has two decorated leaves and a triangular flower in the centre. To either side is rocker-arm engraving. The plant appears to be the right way up when the plate is held with the fold downwards. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
