Description: | Early Medieval? copper alloy and gilt object, possibly part of a great square headed brooch or a medieval mount. The object is 34mm long, 16mm wide and 3mm thick. It is in fair with a green patina and weighs 3.97 grams. The object is sub rectangular in form with tapering long sides. The narrow end of the object has a central raised area which is flanked by four areas of L shaped incisions, which look very much like chip carving. Behind this is a raised elongated V which has incised lines, running in the same alignment, around it. It has one small circular hole in the base of the V and one intact iron rivet on the same alignment nearer the centre. The whole object has traces of gilding over its surface and its centre also has iron staining. | Subjects: | square headed? | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
