"405108","YORYM-FD1B95","PAS4C7FD1B9001AE4","DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)","","","18.5","","","","15.2","1","","2010T513","POST MEDIEVAL","","","TREASURE CASE: 2010 T513.


A complete silver-gilt dress fastener of post-medieval date. The dress fastener is formed from two hemispheres joined to form a hollow spherical ball with a projecting circular attachment loop. The fastener is decorated with an openwork design and multiple pellets arranged in concentric circles radiating from a central point. A double banded filigree rope-work collar is present where the two hemispheres join. A further two bands of filigree are present on each hemisphere from which some of the pellets project.
From one hemisphere a centrally placed attachment loop projects with a narrow D-shaped section.
Traces of gilding survive on the decoration and the loop. Much of the openwork design is now infilled with soil remnants from its deposition.



Discussion: A similar example can be seen on the PAS database: IOW-CDBEA4, Treasure case 2009 T561.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.



Dimensions: Weight: 4.5 grams. 18.5mm x 15.2 mm.
