Description: | A heavy silver dress fitting, comprising openwork trefoil head made of heavy silver wire with flower head, gilt, soldered at centre; on the back, remains of silver wire (broken) soldered to centre. No sign of rectangular bar attachment, but this appears to be an early kind of dress fitting which can be compared with two others so far reported through the Treasure Act: see TAR 2005-6 nos. 695-6.As such, due to its age and precious metal content, this object qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.Dr Dora Thornton, The British Museum
