Description: | Fragment of trapezoidal plate of a Medieval page-holder, about one half surviving. The upper edge is concave. Decoration, consisting of perimeter, vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines, is formed from double rows of tiny stamped impressions. These appear triangular, lozengiform and crescentic but would have been made with one tool. Page holders occur on both lay and ecclesiastical sites (Biddle 1990, 756). There is a marked bias in the distribution of Norfolk examples towards parishes with strong monastic associations: East Rudham, Great Dunham, Horsham St Faith, Pentney, West Acre, and Norwich. 13th ?? 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Robbins, Katherine - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
