Description: | A fragment from a tinned copper-alloy chatelaine, dating from the medieval period. The object is trapezoidal in shape with a row of four circular holes at one end and three circular holes at the other. The remains of a copper-alloy chain link survive in one of the holes in the row of three. The two rows of holes are separated by an integral plate of copper-alloy which is decorated with ridged decoration. A very similar example was excavated at Thrislington and has been described as a key pendant which would have belonged to a lady. The excavated example can be viewed at www.pastperfect.org.uk/sites/thrislington/archive/1253.html.
