Description: | An incomplete, Post Medieval, cast, hand decorated furniture fitting, possibly a hinge. Originally a narrow, lozenge shaped fitting with folliate and scroll work design with attachment hole. It also has hand punched annulet and arc decoration and was once silvered. The fitting has little wear, a dark green patina but with pale green verdigris and a matt light brown surface over half the artefact, especially on the plain undecorated underside. This fitting is likely to date from 1690-1750. Ref.
