Next to one the stub of a D-section bar decorated with transverse grooves. Next to the other a triangular aperture with the stub of a rectangular section continuation on the far side. Adjacent to the aperture the outer edge is elaborately moulded. The slightly convex front is decorated overall with double rows of punched, addorsed, very small triangles. The surviving rivet is bent, and projects c.6mm from the roughly finished reverse. c.27 x c.30mm. Cf. de Reuck 1991, 2, second from top. 11th century. | 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: | 1000
