Saxon & Medieval — Late 15th-early 16th century
Scrap
Two fragments of brass sheet from which six-foiled florets have been cut. Eight florets had been cut from the larger sheet and four from the smaller sheet. This is manufacturing waste leftover from the making of belt mounts. It is from a batch of unfinished buckles and matching belt-ends that was dumped in a well near Cheapside. The mass-produced, cheap fittings were made from folded and stamped brass sheet, which was probably imported from Nuremberg in Germany.
