Description: | A cast copper-alloy mirror case of the Medieval period, 13th-14th century.
The lid is discoidal, with a pair of incompleted perforated lugs for a hinge opposite a single unpierced lug. The outer face is undecorated. The inner face has traces of silvering/tinning near the raised outer edges. A large crack meanders from one edge to the centre.
This type with its characteristic decoration is dated in London to c.1270 ?? c.1350 (Egan and Pritchard 1991:361-362, nos.1714-1716). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
