Description: | Fragment of gold sheet. Decorated with filigree. The filligree forms an outer border (2 mm wide) running parallel to the outer edge of the piece. Within this border is a herringbone pattern of filligree work. This border creates a central area divided down the middle by a single piece of twisted wire. Within either side of this wire are pairs of filligree S's that mirror each other. Two of these pairs survive intact and the beginings of a third survive. On the reverse side is a rectangular gold 'washer' fixed to the back by a gold pin. This is no doubt indicative of the method of mounting employed for this piece. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Holmes, Simon - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
