Description: | A cast copper-alloy furniture fitting of Post-Medeival date, c. 1500-1750.The fitting is an incomplete cast plate of copper-alloy of a butterfly shape in plan.The larger lobes of the upper wings have evidence of circular perforations, but the outside has broken off the lobes. The face of the plate is decorated with punched ring-and-dots and annulets, with 7 annulets forming a small flower in the centre of the plate and annulets punched in a linear fashion around the edges of the object. Four ring-and-dots can be seen to form the corners of the 'body' of the butterfly shape, with two further on the entended tail.The reverse is undecorated.
