Description: | A medieval fitting, rectangular in shape, with one undecorated half slightly damaged at its corners, and an aperture of roughly square shape in the centre. The other half consists of a band of cabling or rope-work with a crest of conjoined fleur-de-lys. This decorative fitting may have been used as a dress accessory or as the mount on a box or a book cover. On the reverse are the remains of two studs, which would have formed the means of attachment. The fitting is silver and dates from the fifteenth or early sixteenth century. Text by JP Robinson, Curator of Medieval Collections, British Museum
