Description: | A late Medieval - early Post Medieval copper alloy fragment of an object dating to the 15th - early 16th centuries. The fragment is flat, roughly triangular with all the edges broken. The front surface is decorated with engraved angular patterns or black letters. John Clark notes the fragment is flat where if this were a fragment of a vessel there would normally be a curve. There is also a similarity with funeral monument brasses but this fragment is too thick. Geoff Egan suggests that this is not too thick to be a fragment from a funeral monument brass and this seems the most likely identification.Dimensions: length: 25.77mm; width: 27.63mm; thickness: 2.97mm; weight: 8.20g.Identified by John Clark Medieval Curator Emeritus, Museum of London.
