Description: | Lead unidenitifed object, roughly square in shape and 24x23.5x8mm, weighing 28.51g. On the reverse, along a diagonal are two rivet holes, cone-like in shape, matching with two on the other (decorated face), although the two pairs do not appear to meet. The decorated face consists of a five-petalled rose (the rivet holes cut crudely through two petals, one of which strays into the central boss - the middle of the rose). The central boss is 6mm in diameter with c.10 circular pellets around it (some of which are missing because of the rivet hole). The petals are heart shaped, with a central stem dividing them. The rose seems to be lying on a star, the point of which extend between and from the centre of the petals. Geoff Egan has suggested this is from some sort of Tudor garden ornament, possibly a mount for a tap, and reused as something else. | 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: | 1600 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Katie Hinds | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
