Description: | Small cast copper alloy decorative object. The artefact consists of two flat joined spirals of 'rope-work' with a loop between them. The spirals have a small boss in each centre. The rope on the outside of each spiral leads off away from the loop, but in both cases in broken off. The item has the same appearance on both sides, although one side is more corroded. The design is symmetrical. This may be part of a hook-and-loop fitting, or it may represent part of a mount of some sort, or it may be a pendant. The coiled rope-work motif suggests a Medieval or Post-Medieval date, and hints at maybe a seafaring connection. | 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: | 1350
