Three disc-headed rivets (one missing) with, between them, two trefoil cut-outs on the attachment edge. The cut-outs are grooved, in the manner of strap-ends (e.g. Dress Access. nos. 671-5) on the reverse which is also decorated along both sides and edges with engraved rocker-arm. As both faces were to be seen the hinge must have been attached to a lid. Traces of gilding on one rivet head. Length 19mm. Width 60mm. Rivet head diameter 8mm. 14th century.
