Description: | Piece of enamelled copper alloy. The part has two curved arms forming a ??V?? shape. In the section between the arms there is a circular rivet hole for attachment; on one side of this is a small triangular field of blue enamel and on the other a tiny oval field of blue enamel. The object is flat with an undecorated reverse. The blue enamelling runs down each arm in three stripes (a wider stripe between two thin stripes) but does not run right up to the break. The object is probably part of some sort of decorated mount but the exact function is unclear, it is reminiscent of medieval bookclasps which sometimes have similar splayed arms. This object is probably post-medieval in date. It weighs 10.52g and measures 48mm in length, 27.3mm in width and 2.8mm in thickness. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
