Reconstruction drawing of South Shropshire Censer Cover |

Description |
English: Cast copper alloy censer of medieval date (1050 - 1200AD). The censer consists only of the upper part which is known as either a cover or lid. The overall design of the cover is in the architectural form and consists of a cruciform building with a square tower (probably a church) which sits upon a sub-spherical (hemispherical) dome. At the base of the dome are three projecting cast loops. These are evenly spaced and would have contained rods which would have held the bottom dish (now missing). The three loops each project 9mm, have a width of 14mm, are between 6-7mm thick and have an internal diameter of 5.6mm. The cover is broadly sub circular in plan and it is irregular in both profile and cross section. It measures 96.1mm in length, 94.5mm width and it is 79.5mm high. The cover weighs 195.03 grams. The design and decoration of the censer cover is complex. It consists of cast, pierced, applied and incised motifs. This decoration can be divided into two major zones: that on the hemispherical domed base, and that on the architectural top. |
