Description: | Medieval copper alloy and gold book or box mount, 51mm long, 11mm wide and 3mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a greenish patina and weighs 10.15 grams. The object is rectangular in form and has a rounded terminal at one end which contains a circular hole, 3mm in diameter. The other end has snapped cleanly off just outside one of three raised rectangles, 8mm in length and 11mm wide. These rectangles are decorated on their upper surface with incised cross hatching which has traces of gilding. These are joined together by a strip 12mm long which consists of a central flat area 3mm wide which is contained by two sloping sides, giving this strip a sub triangular section. The object has large patches of thick gilding still attached to its upper surface. | 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: | 1100
