Description: | Copper alloy book fitting fragment. A large straight-sided cast plate with a slightly splayed 'fishtail' end with four holes left by tacks or rivets of shank diameter 1.7mm and inferred head diameter7mm, all inferred from marks left in the plate towards its broader end. A further two possibly iron tacks have been driven into the plate between the original holes and its edge. A series of stamped rhomboid figures with pelleted borders, each of length c.8mm, is loosely spread across the plate, and these appear similar to decorative stamps used on leather. This comes from a larger book than most objects of this type. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Length: 46.3mm, Width: 43.4mm, Thickness: 1.3mm, Weight: 16.71gms.
