Description: | A medieval dress-fitting in the form of a raised circular mount with a cabled border within a serrated edge. At the centre is engraved a representation of St Peter holding a large key against a gilded hatched background. The figure of St Peter appears black, possibly due to the oxidisation of the silver. A fitting is soldered to the reverse in the shape of an elongated S.The dress-fitting is silver-gilt and dates from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century.Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.J P RobinsonCurator of Medieval Collections9th August 2012
