Title: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT [Go to resource]
Description: Medieval unidentified object: rectangular sectioned bar, the broad faces tapering at one end, with the surface built up by the application of two small, unevenly sized metal wedges, presumably secured by solder. One wedge is in a paler green patinated alloy. Both broad faces are engraved with lines parallel with the sides and with short lines, some oblique, between them. On one face the decoration, which is cannot be interpreted, is absent from the applied piece. On the other the motif, which may be an animal, extends onto the wedge. On one narrow face, just before the end all three elements are cut by a notch. The larger of the two applied wedges projects slightly from the opposite face. Whether or not it has been broken is uncertain. Length 25mm. Width 6.5mm. Thickness 3mm. probably 13th - 14th century.
