Description: | Copper-alloy unidentified object in the shape of a crude fleur-de-lis. 6 mm thick, one face has a broad groove down the central leaf of the fleur but the other face is flat. There is a copper-alloy rivet running through the tip of the central leaf, which projects equally on either face. This is definitely a rivet, not part of a suspension loop, as one end is burred over. The broken-off stem of the lis looks as if it might have had a slot across it, which would suggest a function as a knife end-cap, but end-caps from knives always have decoration on both faces. Probably medieval. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1066
