Description
Proportion of large format hinge in bronze. It belongs to the axis of a door probably of a public building found in a rescue excavation in Avenida de la Generalitat in 2000. It consists of two parts, one of which was rectangular, recessed in the floor or jamb of a door and the other took the axis of door and allowed its rotation. Once restored, it has been determined that the upper part still turns smoothly on the base.
