Description: | D-shaped copper alloy fitting, perhaps from a vessel. Two similarly sized pieces of sheet are secured, c.3mm apart, by three convex-headed rivets near the straight edge. A round hole has been driven through both sheets from one side. On both outer faces and cut by this hole is a looping line of rocker-arm engraving which surrounds an area of silvery solder. Small fragments of decayed lead alloy between the sheets suggest that the object may have been fixed to a pewter vessel, perhaps as a handle escutcheon. There is, however, no clear indication of a curve. Length 52mm. Width 27mm. Hole diameter 6mm. Perhaps 14th - 15th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
