Description: | A copper-alloy object which is probably a book fitting of late medieval to post-medieval date.
The object consists of two parallel plates and a joining hinge. The upper plate takes the form of a fleur-de-lys, with a small circular hole in the pointed upper lobe and an incised line around the outside. The hinge is at the wider, horizontal edge of the upper plate and joins it to the sub-rectangular back plate. The right hand end of the back plate angles to a point, whilst the left hand end is near vertical and has probably been broken off. The outer edge of the back plate is also defined by an incised line. The surfaces of the piece have remnants of gilding.
It measures 24.6mm wide, by 17.5mm high and 3.6mm thick; the weight is 1.73g. | 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: | 1400
