Description: | A medieval terminal of silver, with rounded shoulders, tapering to a point, so as to give the impression of a leaf. The front surface is raised, and is decorated with three grooves within a chamfered border. The reverse is plain and flat. At the terminal??s widest point there appears the remainder of a square shaft. Its precise function is difficult to determine.
The terminal is silver and of pre-industrial manufacture. It is likely to date from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries.
Dimensions: length 15 mm, width 9 mm.
Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
