Description: | Late Medieval/early Post medieval silver gilt dress fitting width 15 mm, height 14 mm. A Medieval dress-fitting in the form of a bird (possibly an eagle) with outstretched wings, its head bent towards its left wing. The bird stands on a branch. On the reverse is a centrally placed rod, the function of which is unclear. The dress-fitting resembles pilgrim badges from the late Medieval period and is similar in technique to a number of Tudor belt-mounts and dress-fittings. The fitting is silver-gilt and dates from the late 15th century or early 16th century.This object was found as part of the Bosworth Battlefield survey and may be a livery badge connected to the battle.
