Description: | Decorative fragment of gilded copper alloy sheet, probably mounted onto an item of leatherwork or a piece of furniture for decoration. The piece has one curved side with three regularly spaced holes for rivets near the edge, there is one straight side adjacent to one end of the curve which also appears complete and the remainder of the edges are irregular with old breaks. The front is decorated with regular rows of small circular pits these seem to form a larger pattern although it is not now clear what this was. It has been rolled up and broken along the bends. It is c.60mm long, 42.4mm wide and 0.8mm thick; it weighs 8.22 grams. The decoration and form suggests a Medieval date.
