Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Published
Unidentified object or possible hinge. Copper-alloy object, now rather corroded. It is basically flat and rectangular, 43 x 20 mm, and broken at one end. A groove runs along either long edge, and the front is divided into three fields by two longitudinal ridges, each of which is transversely ribbed on the top. The ridges and grooves run up to a pair of hinge loops at the complete end, apparently cast into shape onto the front of the object. Each one is as wide as the outer field, and they enclose an iron hinge bar. In between the hinge loops is the stub of a surviving pin, probab…
