Description: | A fragment of a solid silver-gilt dress fitting or mount, medieval in date, most likely dating to the 15th Century. It is formed from two plates of silver; the surviving pieces are tongue shaped. The top one is slightly smaller than the bottom one; the two have been soldered together. The terminals are both broken, one has an irregular break, while the other has been torn. The edges of the bottom plate have been decorated with an applied cable work design. The top plate is decorated with a chevron design, with further cross-hatched incised marks. The reverse is smooth and undecorated.
