Description: | 1) Half of a copper-alloy mirror case, circular in shape with a diameter of 31mm. The outer face is decorated with curved lines formed of opposed triangles, arranged to create two pairs of arcs seperated with a line running between the lugs. The inside face of the case has traces of a white 'cement' probably either putty or lime plaster. 2) Half of a copper-alloy mirror case circular in shape and 30mm in diameter. There is no decoration visible on either face although again traces of a white 'cement' do survive on the inner face. 3) Half of a copper-alloy mirror case, circular in shape and measuring 30mm in diameter no decoration is visible on either face and again white 'cement' can be seen on the inner face. These halfs of mirror cases are similar to one from Winchester which is medieval in date and and thought to be 14th century (Biddle 1990, 656, Fig 178, No 2103). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
