Title
2012 T439, Medieval silver-gilt dress-fitting from Gayton, Northamptonshire
Description
English: A medieval dress-fitting in the form of a raised circular mount with a cabled border within a serrated edge. At the centre is engraved a representation of St Peter holding a large key against a gilded hatched background. The figure of St Peter appears black, possibly due to the oxidisation of the silver. A fitting is soldered to the reverse in the shape of an elongated S.

The dress-fitting is silver-gilt and dates from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century.

Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
