Description: | Copper alloyBinding. Pressed metal binding for a hexagonal object; eight curving flaps appear to have been crimped to attach this object to another. This was possibly fastened to the mouth of a knife sheath or other leatherwork, for which this method of attachment appears apt; facetted knife handles in various materials were made through the Medieval period and could accompany such a sheath. A relict patina suggests the object is of some antiquity. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1400-1500. Length: 21.9mm, Width: 14.7mm, Thickness (of sheet): 0.5mm, Weight: 0.98gms.
