Description: | A late Medieval - early Post Medieval silver girdle terminal (late 15th ?? early 16th century).
Curator??s report,
A Medieval girdle terminal, which consists of a tapering rectangular shaft terminating in a hexagonal knop. Each edge is decorated with two semicircular protuberances positioned close to the knop. On each face there is a central band of decoration, with an engraved design resembling tears, between two narrow bands of engraved decoration resembling rope work. On one side there is a large hole (diameter about 5 mm) presumably for the attachment of fabric.
The terminal is silver and dates from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century.
Dimensions: length: 39.55mm; width:15.93mm; thickness: 10.43mm; weight: 14.54g; length of open end: 11.94mm; width of open end: 4.40mm.
Discussion: A comparable example, with tear decoration in relief, appears in TAR 2004 No. 223.
