Description: | Late Medieval/early Post medieval silver gilt dress fitting width 15 mm, height 14 mm. A Medieval dress-fitting in the form of a bird (possibly an eagle) with outstretched wings, its head bent towards its left wing. The bird stands on a branch. On the reverse is a centrally placed rod, the function of which is unclear.
The dress-fitting resembles pilgrim badges from the late Medieval period and is similar in technique to a number of Tudor belt-mounts and dress-fittings.
The fitting is silver-gilt and dates from the late 15th century or early 16th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
