Description: | The object is difficult to identify. It consists of a flat, roughly lozenge shaped piece of copper alloy. The copper alloy has been cast and whilst the underside of the object is plain, its upper surface has substantial raised and moulded decoration. At one end is a large lozenge shaped perforation. Above this are two raised spirals with central raised knobs and then an expansion which appears to represent a plume of feathers. The object appears to be damaged in the area of the spirals and the tip of the plume is no longer extant. The object measures 69.73mm in length, 53.7mm in width and 7.56mm thick. It is possible that the object is a decorative mount from post medieval garden furniture. | 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: | 1600
