Description: | Silver gilt dress fitting with a central collet containing a pink stone.
Treasure Report: 2007 T196 JPR/EM
Parish/County: Cerne Abbas, Dorset
A late Medieval dress fitting, lozenge-shaped, with a sphere attached to each corner and a central collet set with a pale pink stone. Two of the corners have been bent out of shape. The surface is decorated with roughly incised lines and the edges are serrated. On the reverse are the remains of two stitching bars.
The dress fitting is silver-gilt apart from the spheres, which are plain silver and possibly intended to simulate pearls. The object dates from the late fifteenth century.
Dimensions: length 13 mm, width 14 mm.
In terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
