Description: | A cast item made of pewter. It is likely that this object is a fitting from a casket or another small item of furniture. The object is ridged, with its two exterior sides almost at right angles to one another. The item tapers from 19 mm to 4 mm. It is decorated with a flowing linear design which resembles folds of cloth. This design is interupted a third of the way up the object by two diagonal lines which run down the object from either side to meet in the ridge. The object has been broken at the top and it is difficult to discern what form it would have once taken, although it is likely that it broadened further. The reverse of the object is quite plain and smooth, although there are two grooves which may represent where the object was once attached to another item. This artefact may be late medieval or post-medieval in date. | 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 | Creator: | Tom Brindle | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
