Title
A Post Medieval Book Fitting
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy artefact which may possibly be a book fitting or part of a strap end, dating to the late Medieval or Post Medieval period (c. AD 1400 - 1700). The fitting is trefoliate in plan with a rectangular projection, which terminates in a worn break. The fitting has a perforation within the middle of the trefoliate end. There are traces of gilding apparent on the front and reverse of the fittng, though no other decoration is apparent. This object is very similar to WILT-953A74 on the PAS database, though the example recorded here is roughly half the size.

The overall dimensions are as follows: 18.4mm in length, 12.94mm in width, 1.49mm in thickness and 0.89g in weight.
