Description: | A Late Medieval/ Early Post-Medieval (1400-1700) fragment of a cast copper-alloy pair of possible scissors, consisting of part of one arm and one finger-loop only.The worn break across the arm is at the angled hinge, which retains a trace of corroded iron from the blade. The arm is decorated with square-section bosses with incised cross-hatching on opposing faces and an oblique groove at each corner. The loop measures 23.94x20.05mm (internal 18.52x15.54mm) and is D-shaped in cross-section with a curve to the inside surface.Where the patina survives it is smooth, shiny and dark green in colour.Measures 49.40x20.05x5.09mm and weighs 6.84g.Cf. NARC3254 and NMS-52C987, for similar decoration.
