Description: | A copper-alloy object usually described as being a component of a chatelaine. This object retains four wire links.Although two very similar examples from Coddenham were dated by West to the late Anglo-Saxon or early medieval period (West 1998, Fig. 22.19 and 22.20), no evidence was given to support this date. A similar object was excavated from ditch MH193 at Thrislington, County Durham (Austin 1989, fig. 57 no. 13). This ditch appears to have been dug during the 13th-century rebuilding of the manor house and was later filled in during alterations to the house before its final abandonment in the mid 14th century (Austin 1989, 49 and 52, fig. 14.3-4). The likely date for the object is therefore 13th century.Parallels on the PAS database include BH-0FA375, SUR-B1FC42, BH-D822D5, WAW-411295, SUR-EA7CA1 and BUC-D65BC0.
