Cast copper alloy strap fitting (belt mount) of probable post-medieval date (1500-1700).

Object type: DENTAL IMPLEMENT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete gold dental plate, of late Post-Medieval to modern dating.
The plate was designed to fit the lower jaw. The plate has one straight edge and one ridged which would fit between remaining teeth. A flattened panel is present onto which the false teeth would have been fitted. One semi-circular loop is present. This would have secured the dental plate around existing teeth, presumably in this case around the lower second molar. An incomplete forked peg is present at the front, which would have secured a false tooth (incisor) in position.
Gold dental plates such as this …
