Description: | A cast copper-alloy fragment of a letter probably from a medieval monumental brass. The fragment is sub-rectangular and constiutes the vertical part of a Roman script letter. At one end the letter features serifs. The terminals of the letter at the other end are broken: one is opposite the intact terminal, the other is at an angle of forty-five degrees to the vertical. On the edge opposite the broken, angled terminal there is an indentation running up the length of the fragment on the obverse. The letter could have potentially been a capital 'M', 'N', 'R', 'K' or 'P'. The object is slightly bent towards the multi-junction terminal. There are traces of white correction fluid on the reverse. This mount could also conceivably been attached to a book. | 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: | 1100
