Description: | An unidentified cast copper alloy object. The object is sub-circular in plan, with a straightened upper edge. Along this edge there are two rivet holes which are 2mm in diameter. The object is quite flat except for a slight oblique crease. One surface has traces of gilding, which has been abraded. The reverse has traces of gilding along the upper edge. Otherwise the surfaces have a mottled mid to dark green patina. Both surfaces are undecorated. It measures 16.25mm long, 18.81mm wide and 0.67mm thick. It weighs 1.06g.
The object appears to have a decorative rather than functional use. The use of gilding may suggest a Medieval date. No comparable object can be found yet. | Subjects: | Decorative Fitting | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
