Description: | The object is a cast sub-circular uniface item with a knop protruding at the lower edge. The design, which is in high-relief, is the royal coat of arms within a ridge border. The heraldry is parted cross wise. The upper dexter and lower sinister quarters are decorated with lis. The lower quarter has three complete lis visible, the upper quarter has four lis visible. In the remaining quarters there are three lions, passant gardant in each. In the three fields around the shield-shape there is laurel stem in each. The object has a border composed of panels which has high-relief cross-hatching in each, with exceptions which are regularly spaced and contain emblems, possibly lettering. It is difficult to distinguish what these are. The object has been folded obliquely across the centre of the item, and has since been straightened. The reverse of the item is undecorated and is slightly corroded. The corrosion is a dark grey/white mottled colour. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
