Description: | A copper-alloy furniture escutcheon of post-Medieval date.The flat-sectioned plate is sub-circular, its decoration comprising a cruciform arrangement of four cherubic heads, each separated from the next by a leaf. A circular perforation is located at the centre, with smaller, irregular perforations surrounding.Diameter: 31.7mm; thickness: 2.6mm; weight: 9.04g.A parallel for this piece is illustrated and discussed by Brian Read (2001: fig. 29/40, no. 388), who suggests a date of c. 18th to 19th century. The recorder suggests that a late 17th to 18th century date is most likely for this piece.
