Description: | Silver dress fitting, made in one plane with circular central plate with relief-moulded design of a flowerhead and one large attachment loop at base and two smaller ones on either side. Gilt. Signs of chasing on reverse. Measures 13.7mm long, 12.8mm wide, 2mm thick and weighs 1.38g. Related to, but not identical to, a type of dress fitting reported through the Treasure Act in which a flat element like this has a wire loop soldered onto the reverse, see TAR 2005-6 nos.700 and 701, and to surviving dress fittings in copper alloy. Vervels are sometimes of this form, see TAR 2005 no. 778.2. Probably 16th Century. (D. Thornton)
