Description: | Part of the ornamental front plate from a lock to a drawer or casket. As viewed, this is the left side of a lockplate with engraved ornament, which has been broken in half vertically through the actual keyhole in the p[late. This is discernible by looking at the broken end, and understanding the irregularity of the shape in that part. The plate is about 1mm thick and 18mm broad, and the surviving length of the metal (which is bent, but which is measured as if it were flat) is 43mm (giving a total width for the complete plate of c90mm). The outline has leafy excrescences, small punched rosettes, engraved lines and cross-hatching. It is probably 16th-18th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plunkett, Tom - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
