Object type: WALL COVERING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn and incomplete cast lead-alloy medieval object, possibly a wall or ceiling ornament. The artefact has six wavy arms all featuring a slightly raised median ridge. All of the points have been lost from the arms; they survive in varying degrees of completeness, from 18.1mm to 25.5mm from the centre. Two arm fragments have been glued back in place by the finder. There is a small circular perforation slightly off centre, for attachment. Decorative mounts with eight arms can be found illustrated in Saunders ed. (2001, 107/118; refs. 190, 191).
