Description: | A cast copper-alloy artefact, possibly a medieval casket or chest mount, featuring hinge. The mount is rectangular and has rounded corners; the hinge protrudes from one of the edges near the corner. The hinge element appears to have been cast integrally and bent round to the reverse. Remains of an iron axis bar are extant within the hinge. The mount features a pair of rivet holes: one central across the width nearly opposite the hinge slot; the other also central, adjacent to the shorter edge at the opposite end. The artefact is worn and slightly corroded. The corner directly opposite the hinge has been bent round towards the obverse face. The obverse was decorated with gilding; this has largely been lost and the patterning become indiscernible. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
