Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy wound-wire accessory, possibly a girdle (AD 16th century). The object has a loop at one end, with a section of twisted wire from which six separate coiled wire segments are suspended; each segment is connected to the other by an integral loop. At the end of the wire segments, there is an intricately constructed wire possible cage-like pendant, which is now compacted; this part of the object has been fashioned in the shape of a spider??s web. Originally this may have been bell-shaped.
Similar examples have been found in London (Egan 2005:55-56) of a slightly different composition but still wound-wire.
Dimensions: length: 133.42mm; width: 41.91mm; weight: 5.06g.
