Description: | Cast copper alloy furniture escutcheon with a central cross forming a boss, surrounded by a ring of pellets, in relief, and then an outer ring of moulded rectangles, in relief, alternating with flowers, which form the border. Two integral copper alloy screws survive and the iron corrosion product around each of them suggest that they may have originally been nuts.
Bailey (1993) illustrates a similar example on page 16, No.4, which has a threaded moulding on the reverse to take an attachment screw, and is dated from the mid-18th century to the early 19th century.
Read (1988) illustrates examples of bridle bosses with a similar style of decoration, such as No.1224 on page 180, which is dated to the 18th century, and No.1230 on page 181, which is dated from the late 18th century to the 19th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
