Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy fragment probably dating to the medieval period. The artefact is curved with a straight terminal at one end and an irregular break at the other. The break is stepped, and it is difficult to say whether this somehow reflected the continuation of the object. On the obverse face the object is bordered around the curved edges. Within this are raised designs, possibly letters. Just before the break is what might represent an 'H'. Adjacent is a similar character whose serifs curve round and terminate with what appear to be fronds. With decoration only evident on one face this object was probably recessed into another; no rivet holes are apparent. Candidates for the object decorated with such a mount might include books, vessels or even tombs. | 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: | 1200
