Description: | Only one of the trefoil shaped escutcheons remains. This escutcheon has a domed centre which has a circular hole in the centre. Each leaf of the trefoil has an incised design consisting of a linear border with a series of perpendicular parallel grooves joining the linear border to the outer edge. The centre of the leaf has a petra shape which has a series of grooves along its' upper edge. Either side of the petra shape is a small point oval shape with parallel linear grooves. At the base of the dome the leaves each have two triangles with parallel linear grooves over their surface. In the fields of the leaves there re small punched dots as further decoration. The surface of the escutcheon is a grey colour due to tinning or silvering. The reverse of the escutcheon is pitted and corroded. The whole of reverse is slightly concave, the central portion where the dome is position is further concave. The hook-escutcheon was soldered to the bowl. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
