Description: | Copper alloy figurine or statuette fitting of Medieval date, probably 14th or 15th century.
The figurine depicts a seated figure (Mary) clothed in a robe with vertical folds on the upper body and horizontal folds over the legs. Mary is portrayed with the Christ child seated on her left knee. The figurine appears to be complete and has a height of 39.09mm, a maximum width and thickness at the base of 17.81mm and 10.75mm respectively. The rear of the fitting is semicircular (with an internal diameter of 12.53mm) and exhibits file marks. The fitting was presumably attached to a circular rod, staff or similar and is likely to have derived from some piece of church furniture. The front of the fitting is heavily worn and the faces of the figures have been lost. The figurine has a dark green patina where the original surface survives. The piece weighs 15.1g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Battye, Ruth - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
