Description: | Copper alloy Post-Medieval hinged furniture fitting, probably a hinged mount from a casket or similar. Sub-rectangular in shape. The longer edges are formed from two inwardly curved lines, one slightly shorter than the other and one the end from three lines each curving outwards. The other end forms a hinge, it is straight and cylindrical in profile, containing a copper-alloy spindle. The reverse face is undecorated, whilst the upper face is decorated with an engraved line running around the outside edge and possibly a curlicue/floral design in the middle, but this is difficult to make out. It is possible that a few patches of green enamel may be seen in places on the upper surface.Length: 33.73mm, Width: 18.11mm, Thickness: 2.53mmWeight: 4.39g
