Description: | A cast silver-gilt object, possibly a mount or a fragment from costume jewellery.
The object is bi-conical in shape. The upper cone has an aperture, which has been crudely cut. Inside the aperture there is a white substance or paste. It is likely that this once held a stone or gem what has now been lost. Where the two cones are joined there is a slight gap. The edge of the upper cone has a beaded border and six extending pellets, set at regular intervals. On the apex of the lower cone there is a broken pin, which would have allowed this object to be attached. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
