Description: | A probable medieval (?12th-13th century) copper-alloy mount, possibly from a casket. The object consists of an irregularly-shaped plate, which was originally flat, but has become slightly bent due to post-depositional processes. The central section of the plate is rectangular and measures 20.7mm wide by 27.9mm high. It has a small circular hole at the centre of its top edge. Below this rectangular section, a single concave indentation on either side (one deeper than the other) creates a shallow "waist". This extends into an irregular projection with a single circular hole on the left hand side (as you look at it). At the top, a narrow arm extends upwards from the centre point of the rectangular section's upper edge. It narrows slightly before terminating in a circular (?suspension) loop. The object is highly corroded but a single indented border can be seen around the entire perimeter. Traces of gilding also remain on all parts of the upper surface. The object measures 73.3mm long by 20.7mm wide and 1.7mm thick. It weighs 9.5g. | Subjects: | Casket | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
