Description: | Report on post-medieval silver dress-fitting
Silver-gilt fitting with rectangular backplate with scalloped edge, with cut-out rectangular hole at lower end and projecting pierced flap at upper end, for attachment. Soldered onto the front is a thin layer of sheet with embossed circular designs arranged in a groups of three vertically, divided by rope-twist panels. The circles decorated with applied filigree ornament and small bosses. Front gilded.
Length:2.5 cm.
16th Century.
Apparently a cheaper imitation for a sewn-on fitting of a type of dress hook with cast decoration and hook on the back, as reported under the Treasure Act (Annual Report 2003, no. 234 from Cranbrook, Kent, Annual Report 2000, , no. 183).
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: | Barton, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
