Description: | A cast copper alloy object which survives in two pieces.
1) 30.6mm x 20.2mm x 2.4mm Weight: 6.5g
2) 14.9mm x 17.7mm x 1.6mm Weight: 2.2g
The object is possibly part of a harness fitting or pendant or similar object. The largest piece is formed from one plate of copper alloy, now bent. The plate has a central element which then extends into a rounded terminal. The terminal is decorated with a raised design of a flower with six petals, with a pellet in the centre. The fields around the flower have been infilled with enamel. There are also traces of gilding surviving.
The second part of the object is just another round terminal, complete with the design.
The reverse of both objects are flat and the metal is a mid reddish-brown colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
