Description: | An unidentified cast copper alloy object. The object is sub-circular in plan, with a straightened upper edge. Along this edge there are two rivet holes which are 2mm in diameter. The object is quite flat except for a slight oblique crease. One surface has traces of gilding, which has been abraded. The reverse has traces of gilding along the upper edge. Otherwise the surfaces have a mottled mid to dark green patina. Both surfaces are undecorated. It measures 16.25mm long, 18.81mm wide and 0.67mm thick. It weighs 1.06g.
The object appears to have a decorative rather than functional use. The use of gilding may suggest a Medieval date. No comparable object can be found yet. | 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: | 1066
