UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT

Unique ID: HAMP-9A9D22

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

Notes:

This artefact has been put through the Treasure process as 2007 T50. Its dating was found to be uncertain. As it cannot be securely dated to pre-1707 it therefore falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

Dora Thornton states: 'The object was submitted as a chape but does not seem to fit the typology for post-medieval chapes submitted through the Treasure Act or in the collections of The British Museum.

Furthermore the decoration does not appear to be particularly 16th or 17th century in style and might suggest that this object is perhaps of a later date, possibly an element from a dress accessory?'
