Description: | A copper alloy sheet that has been folded in half longitudinally to form the edging for a book. The fold is wider in section than the main body of the object. One side has etched geometric decoration on the plate, in the form of diagonal stripes which are alternately 'filled in' with zig-zag lines, and chevrons are etched into the rounded edge. Iron rivets Are still in place, but corroded on the front plate of the object, situated at each corner. The rivet holes are visible at the reverse, but the rivets are gone, and the copper alloy sheet is indented where the rivets have been tightened with some pressure. The shorter edges are bevelled sightly, making the lower edge 37mm long and the folded edge 41mm long. The copper alloy sheet is 0.7mm thick. The gap between the two halves is 3mm at the bottom and 4.5mm wide at the fold.
