Description: | A copper-alloy plate which may be a late medieval to early post-medieval book mount or is possibly a furniture fitting. The object is roughly lozenge-shaped and has been cut by hand from a piece of sheet metal. It has a scalloped outer edge, remnants of a circular hole at each of the two narrow corners, and a smaller circular hole on the undamaged wider corner. The upper surface is decorated with five flower heads, each formed by seven punched rings. This design sits within a border consisting of two rows of closely-spaced punched dots with a single traced line around the outside. The reverse is plain and the object has a light green patina. It measures 57.1mm long by 37.7mm wide and 1.4mm thick. It weighs 9.83g. | Subjects: | Book | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
