Description: | Copper alloy lock plate retaining some workings. Shield-shaped plate. A convex housing with a flange around it. Flange originally had three pierced lobes for attachment,( only one remains) one at each of the three corners. There is a small keyhole towards the base of the plate (at the apex of the shield shape.). At the back is a plate metal bar spanning the hollow of the plate diagonally across the base. It is attached by a copper alloy rivet at each end. At the top of the back is another, shorter bar running parallel with the top edge of the flange. | 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: | 1540
