Description: | A linked copper-alloy chain of probable post-medieval date. It has been suggested that such chains may have been fitted to fob seals or hooked clothing fasteners. It may date from the 16th to 18th century. The object is in two pieces, but altogether consists of nine tubular links - made from folded sheet metal and decorated on every other one by four transverse ribs - alternately arranged with eight thinner sub-oval wire loops. The tubular links each measure 7mm long by approximately 6.8mm in diameter, whilst the thinner loops are generally about 11mm long by 6mm wide. The object is slightly corroded and weighs 9.06g. The total length (squashed) is 70.8mm. | 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: | 1500
