Description: | A copper-alloy strap fitting, this strap fitting is unusual and no exact parallel could be found. It consists of a rectangular folded sheet plate, 21mm in length and 20mm in width, with two parallel rivets near to the attachment edge. The front face of the plate is decorated with five circular grooves, one inside the other and traces of gilding also remain. This plate is recessed as if for a buckle frame and a bar passes both through it and the fold of another folded sheet copper-alloy plate. This second plate has a straight edge and is again recessed for the bar it is attached to it then is almost circular in shape, measuring 20mm in length and 18mm in width. It has two rivets, one through its centre and another near to one edge. Again the front face is decorated although the design is difficult to decipher it seems to represent foilage of some sort, traces of gilding can also be seen. This strap fitting is likely to be medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
