Description: | Incomplete Medieval furniture fitting or book fitting. U-section binding, broken at both ends, gilded externally, decorated with triplets of transverse ribs, three of which survive along with one rib of another. Very similar to an example from Middle Harling (HER 6033) which Margeson considered "likely to be from the overhanging lid of a casket or possibly the edge of a book-cover." (EAA 74, 66-7, fig.47 no.101). Length >56mm. Height 5.5mm, width 8mm. 11th or 12th century but possibly earlier.
