An incomplete silver dress fastener. Cast as a single component, the body is sub-traingular in plan and on one end projects a rounded attachment loop.

Description: Silver strap-end of Thomas's Class A, type 1, originally decorated in Trewhiddle style, but later re-worked to depict a human figure, perhaps imitating a 'Heiligenfibel' or 'Saint' brooch.
The original strap-end is extremely well made. It has a split attachment end, although the two halves are now pressed closely together with no gap in between and indeed appear never to have been apart. The attachment end is shaped around two very small rivet holes, c. 0.8mm in diameter, with a tiny point in between. A fan- or pelta-shaped motif below this has a central drop-shaped fi…

Object type: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Published
A silver artefact, roughly triangular in shape. Possibly a mount with two studs on the back for attachment to leather or textile. Central square hole, on the front curved flange near the square hole with two triangular compartments of floral decoration.
Possibly a mount for a belt (?). The object is well made and the floral design may suggest an early 16th century date.
The age and precious metal content of this item therefore qualify it as treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
