Description: | Copper alloy with gilding traceMount. Either for a casket or a dress fitting. Cast bar of triangular section between two integral loops, one retaining a domed rivet of length 9mm and shank diameter 2mm. A short lug projects from either loop; one bears traces of gilding. It is possible a decorative motif was carried over the surface of the bar - perhaps of parallel strokes - though the surface is largely obscured by corrosion. A similar object was reported from nearby (NLM-694D42). Suggested date: Medieval, 1150-1200.Length: 44.7mm, Width: 10.9mm, Thickness: 3.1mm, Weight: 3.68gms.
