Title
A silver gilt Medieval fragment
Description
English: Small lozenge-shaped decorative mount(?), cast in one piece with central boss in the form of a five-petalled flower within moulded edging. The raised petals of the flower are worn while the gilding on the rest of the front of the object is well-preserved. Projecting tabs at top and bottom of the lozenge are broken; there are also broken-off remains of three other tabs around the edge of the lozenge. Reverse plain.

Given its incomplete state, it is impossible to be certain about the original form and function of the artefact. The broken tabs indicate that it was probably part of a larger object, perhaps a mount or dress fitting.

The decoration suggests a late15th or early 16th Century dating.
