Description: | A worn cast iron object, probably a post-medieval latch fastener. This object consists of a handle positioned at an angle of approximately forty-five degrees to the rest of the frame. The frame has a shoulder that leads into a straight element. The latter is 34.1mm in length, 9.8mm wide and 11.3mm thick. The 'shoulder' is of similar width, 42.1mm long and a maximum of 30.5mm in thickness. The 'handle' is of similar width at the junction with the shoulder but tapers to 6.2mm before flaring out to a terminal 13.5mm wide. On examples illustrated in Alcock and Hall (1994, 34) the terminal element tends to be piriform, faeturing a central rivet. It could be that a break occurred on this example across the weak point of the rivet hole. The terminal is 64mm in length and features traces of a tinned patina; these traces are evident elsewhere on the object although they are much less frequent. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
