Rousby Site
Context: Unit 2, Level 6, Lot 141. The context represents
plowzone over a mid-late 17th century pit feature.
Site Date Range: c. 1652-1900
Metal: White metal alloy
Tine Length: 0.4”
Leather Thickness: 0.02”
Description:
Feather-like motif. The tines are very delicate and they are pinched
in so far as to indicate that this item was not used on leather, which
would be too thick and tough for the attachments. The object may have
been attached as a decoration on a textile instead.
