Description: | A copper-alloy hinge. The hinge plate has two circular perforations 4 mm in diameter and separated by 9 mm. There would originally have been another perforation 9 mm from the second, but the item has broken at this point. These holes are where the hinge would have been attached to an item. Part of the hinge's iron pin remains in the pin loop. The remains of this iron pin are now very corroded. What remains of the item measures 30 mm in lenth, 22 mm in width including the pin section, and 14 mm in width without the pin section. It is likely that a hinge of these dimensions was fitted to a box or casket as opposed to a door or any other large household item. This item is probably 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 | Temporal: | 1066
