Description: | An incomplete hook-piece from a sheet copper alloy book fitting of post-medieval date. The book fitting is currently bent but would have measured about 50mm in length (when straight) by 16mm by 1.5mm. It weighs 4.4g. It is flat and rectangular with one flared end, which is perforated by a central circular hole containing the remains of a copper alloy rivet. This end is slightly damaged but has three lobes. At the other end there is a broken backwards-curving hook and there is another perforation part way along the plate towards the hook, also containing the remains of a rivet. The front of the fitting is decorated with two stamped concentric circles around the hole at the flared end. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
