Description: | Copper alloy hinged furniture fitting formed by two hinged elements. At one end there is a small sub-rectangular element (L. 13mm. W. 9.9mm). On one long edge the two corners project before the edges taper to a rounded knop where they meet. The other long edge forms part of the hinge mechanism. The second, larger element is joined at the hinge mechanism (L. 25.4mm. W. 11.4mm). The sides then continue before tapering to meet, forming a sub-triangular aperture. The sides then expand at ninety degrees to form a short lateral bar. Above this bar is a small sub-triangular terminal. There are two rivet holes at either end of the small sub-rectangular element. There are two further circular apertures, one in the centre at the hinge end of the larger element, and the other in the centre of the sub-triangular terminal. There is evidence of the iron rod which would have passed through the hinge mechanism. Patchy dark patina. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
