Title
2011T44-Post-Medieval-gold-aglet-from-Greenwich
Description
English: A Post Medieval gold aglet dating to the first half of the 16th century. This aglet is constructed from a gold cylinder which is decorated with ridge and grooves and a band of pellets just below the open end. The other end is closed by a filigree cage in the shape of an six-petalled flower (comprising six wire pointed ovals radiating from a central pellet). There are two opposing attachment holes just below the open end, set within the pelleted band of decoration. The open end has been flattened and there is a crack on one side.

Hazel Forsyth identified this as an aglet dating to the first half of the 16th century and notes that aglets were purely decorative and they were used in pairs as a feature on hats and doublets.

Dimensions: length: 14.17mm; width at the open end: 5.08mm; diameter: 3.98mm; weight: 0.54g.

As the aglet is greater than 300 years old and is more than 10% gold it fulfils the requirements of the Treasure Act 1996.
