Description: | Gilded copper alloy hinged fitting of uncertain date and function, but possibly Medieval. The fitting is composed of two pieces, an attachment plate and a small tongue, which may be eroded and broken. The attachment plate is rectangular with two rivet holes, one of which retains its copper alloy rivet. The plate is hinged to a sub-rectangular plate by an iron pin. The plate is without attachment holes or lugs with the remnants of relief decoration near the top. Both pieces have traces of gilding on the surfaces.
It is possible that find represents a small fragment of a Medieval harness pendant with attachment plate. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
