Description: | Fragment of a medieval gilt copper alloy binding strip from furniture, D-sectioned bar thickens and is bifurcated at both ends, one end perforated at thickening and with broken stumps, the other end has one short stump, the other better surviving bifurcation has an oval expansion before the break. Surviving length 44mm. Surviving width 37mm. Bindings of this type have been recovered on many of the excavated Anglo-Norman castles that have produced good assemblages of material. These include Castle Acre, where they comprised a large percentage of the copper alloy-finds (Goodall, A. R., 1982, fig.43, nos.1-17). 12th century.
