Description: | Copper alloy dress fastener. Catch-piece. An oval plate with three ?sewing holes in rounded projections, one at the end of the oval and two flanking the rectangular framed hole at the other. There are also two bi-fid side projections on the long sides of the oval. The panel is decorated on the front with two framing, raised, rope-pattern, concentric bands. Inside these is a moulded human bust wearing a large crown-like headdress and large earrings (similar to post-medieval images of Amerindians in large feather crowns). The back is undecorated. | 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
