Description: | Almost complete and broken (recent damage, probably plough) medieval copper alloy mirror case. Despite damage, it is in good condition. Decoration on both faces is punched triangles forming two parallel lines from hinge to (missing) catch. Either side of this are two sets of two parallel lines forming small arcs. Inside the case traces of a white deposit can be seen and a few very tiny sparkly fragments. The hinge is in good working order. The outer edges of upper and lower case have sins of vertical tooling. The plough has made a real mess of the damaged half. Diameter including hinge mechanism and broken stub of catch, 38mm. Diameter of face alone 29mm. Height of each half 2-3mm. Cf Egan 1991 fig.241 nos.1714-1716. | 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
