Description: | A fragment of decorated plate cast copper alloy. The fragment is roughly rectangular in shape, with worn, ragged edges. It measures 40.6mm by 21.87mm.
One surface is engraved with a quarter of a circle, possibly representing the sun, from which emanate three 'flames': two curvilinear and one straight sided. The triangular gaps between the flames are filled with rocker-arm engraving. This motif is bounded by a curved border of a double incised line with a wavy line in between, with a further panel of incised curvilinear and rocker arm decoration outside the border. The decorated side of the fragment has a light yellowish green patina; the reverse is darker green in colour.
Rocker arm decoration is typical of the 14th century; therefore it is possible that this fragment is also of that date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Clifford, Trista - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
