Description: | Medieval furniture fitting, rectangular hinge plate of thick folded sheet, gilt on the front, the rear part being very much shorter and with a gently scalloped attachment edge. Three holes for attachment, only one through the rear part. Copper alloy spindle (now partly missing) and three pivot loops, the central being much wider (17mm) than the others (6.5mm). The front is decorated with three longitudinal engraved lines, one central and one along both sides, and with nine transverse, the area between the pivots being left plain. 34 x 37mm. The gap between the front and rear has been reduced by squashing, but cannot have been more than c.2mm. 13th - 15th century.
