Gilding remains only on the fold of the loops. Cf. a rather more elaborate example from Wiltshire (WILT-D61BF2). Frame 13.6 x 8.2mm. Loops 19 and 18.2 x 5.7mm. Overall length 42.5mm. 13th - 14th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
