Description: | A copper-alloy clothes fastener of the Medieval period.
The object has a shank or pin attached to the side of a perforated disc. The leg is approximately 4mm thick where it meets the disc and tapers to a point. The last 5mm are curled into a circle.
The disc is approximately 18mm in diameter. A central cross on the disc has four perforations in each quarter - one in the corner of the quarter, and three along the outer edge. The edge of the disc is like an undetailed cord/rope in shape, and it circumsbribes the cross.
The decoration suggests the object is Medieval in date. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rob Collins | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
