| Title |
Anglo Saxon Die for Pressblech foils |
||
| Description |
English: A complete cast copper-alloy die of Early Anglo-Saxon date (late 6th-7th centuries AD). It is flat and triangular, and consists of a central panel surrounded by a border. The central panel is decorated in low relief with a double-strand interlace pattern. The border consists of a line of dots in between two relief lines. The border is interrupted by three flat undecorated circles, one at each point of the triangle. The metal is green and the object is in good condition. The reverse is undecorated. It weighs 3.1g and measures 25.46mm in length, 17.63mm at its widest point and 2.19mm.
Kevin Leahy kindly identified this object and writes 'It is Anglo-Saxon and of later sixth/seventh century date and it looks like a die for making Pressblech foils for use on three-rivet triangular buckle plates. The best parallel is an example from the Isle of Wight, IOW-3AB946, which has a more elaborate decoration but is basically similar.' Also see HAMP-BAA204. |
