Description: | Late 13th-Early 15th Century AD.
Incomplete frame from a clasp lacking folding ends. The outer edge has an integrally cast crowned head. The crown is slightly pointed, has two circular apertures (one incomplete) and two engrave lines at the centre. Hair is shown either side of the head beneath the crown, indicated by a number of irregular incised lines. The eyes are sub-triangular, the nose is damaged and the mouth and cheeks are indicated by single lines. The reverse is flat. Both sides of the frame are broken. The sides are narrow but generally deeper than the outer edge (Outer edge depth 1.6mm, side depth 3.6mm), so that when viewed from the reverse, the outer edge appears recessed. Dull dark patina. Similar to an example in Egan and Pritchard 1991. | 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: | 1275
