Description: | MED Furniture fitting: small fragment (12mm long & of sub-rectangular section, 8.5 x 6mm) of a hinge, probably from a casket. A single projection for a hinge survives as a stub only. Section reduces to 6 x 2mm at another break which cuts across a circular perforation. There are two opposed triangular decorative facets on both long edges. The delicate hinge is reminiscent of that found on arms folding balances, but they are normally rounded in section. The metal, shiny & to judge from the breaks brittle, is cast. | 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
