Description: | Post medieval cast copper alloy oval plate with punched decoration. Flat oval plate with a fixing hole (diameter c.5mm) at either end. The obverse is decorated with six semi-circles with plain incised-line borders, each containing a milled-line lozenge. The in-curved sided hexagon created by the semi-circles, at the centre of the plate, has its border outlined in punched ring-and-dots. On the reverse is an apparently integral circular-sectioned broken projection; there is some iron staining around one of the fixing holes, and the metal is splayed around the other fixing hole. Dark green patina. Length 37.84mm, width 26.2mm, thickness including broken integral projection 3.6mm, thickness not including projection 1.6mm, weight 7.09g.The decoration suggests a 17th century date.The fixing holes may have been added after the plate was made as they obscure some of the decoration; the integral projection may have been the original means of attachment.
