Description: | A cast copper alloy box lid. The lid is probably post-medieval to modern in date.
The lid has been formed from an oval plate of copper alloy; the lid has two very straight sides. One of the sides has been damaged and a small notch has been removed. The notch could indicate were a small hinge was once positioned, which would have held the lid onto its box.
The front surface of the object has been highly decorated with a floral design. Parts of the design have been picked out with infilled enamel. Much of the enamelling has now been lost. The underside (reverse) is undecorated and flat.
It object probably date from 1750 ?? 1900. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
