Description: | An unidentified cast copper alloy decorative fitting. The object is semi-cylindrical in profile, but the exterior surface has three faces. Towards one terminal the profile tapers to form a flat platform before a broken edge. The opposite edge is also broken, but this edge has some decoration in the form of two parallel transverse grooves and more fine grooves, whose motif is indistinguishable. In plan the object is rectangular. The reverse has file marks along the edge and fine striations on the reverse of the flat platform. This portion of the reverse is slightly off-set. The surface of the object has a dark grey/green patina. It measures 29.42mm long, 10.91mm wide and 3.97mm thick. It weighs 2.63g.
The object is probably of a late Medieval to early Post Medieval date considering the style of decoration and the condition of the patina. It is uncertain whether this is a dress, harness or furniture fitting. | 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
