Description: | A slightly incomplete copper alloy lace tag (probably), dating from the medieval or early post-medieval period. Mass: 2.1g. Length: 40.5mm, external diamater of the wide end: 7.8mm; external diameter of the narrow end: 4.7mm; thickness of sheet copper-alloy: 0.6mm at the wide end. The chape is of copper-alloy sheeting, bent into a tapering tube with open ends and a straight overlapping seam along the side. There is a narrow ridge around the outside of the narrow end. The wide end is incomplete; this damage does not appear to be recent. The chape has a brown patina with a more uneven pitted green surface visible in parts.
In ??Norwich Households: Medieval and post-medieval finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78??, Margeson, 1993, includes similar lace tags and notes that examples are found in huge numbers in late medieval and early post-medieval contexts (p22) (for similar medieval examples see ??Dress Accessories??, Egan and Pritchard, 2002. pp 281-290). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
