Description: | Incomplete cast copper-alloy Medieval mirror case lid. The lid is circular and roughly two-thirds of it still remain. The lid has a circumferential lip that is c.1.5mm wide and 1.5mm high. A single semi-circular lug projects from one side of the lid, a corroded rivet is still in place through the centre of this lug which would have formed part of the hinge mechanism. The outer surface of the lid is decorated with a series of small punched triangles in a linear design. Mirror cases of this type are typically dated c.1250-c.1350.Ref: Egan & Pritchard, 'Dress Accessories: c.1150-c.1450', p.361ff, fig.241.The counterpart to this mirror lid is almost certainly BERK-208A23 which was found close by in the same field.
