Description: | Medieval copper alloy chatelaine, 44mm long, 26mm wide and 8mm thick. The object is in very good condition with a green patina and weighs 34.97grams. The object is oval in form and sub-rectangular in section. It has been cast in one piece and consists of an oval shaped loop with a sub-rectangular sectioned central cross bar which seperates a circular and an oval hole. The oval hole is an incomplete loop, having a small gap cast into it with triangular sectioned terminals, presumambly to guide objects in and prevent them slipping off. The chatelaine is essentially a medieval key ring which would have hung from a belt or girdle. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
