Description: | A complete copper-alloy unidentified object, possibly a furniture fitting of some kind. It is hollow and an irregular hexagon in shape, with one half open/hollow. It is 41.6mm in length and 20.8mm in width, the terminal taper to a point. It is 11.4mm in thickness.
Through the centre of this object there is a copper-alloy nail, with a rounded head, 3.7mm in diameter, the head projects from the upper face of the object. It has a tapering shaft with a circular cross-section, measuring c15mm in length, inside the hollow back face. No parallel could be found for this object and it is perhaps most likely to be a decorative furniture fitting of some kind. It is also likely to be post medieval in date due to its style and the dark patina on the poor quality copper-alloy. | 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: | 1540
