Description: | Composite strap-end made from two sheets of copper alloy. The underplate is much thicker than the upper plate, and has survived better; it is 37 mm long and 9 mm wide. The upper plate is attached by a single separate copper-alloy rivet at the attachment end, and another close to the terminal. It is decorated with a saltire of rocker-arm engraving at the attachment end, and one long edge is very fragmentary. Both sheets are cut into a trefoil terminal. 14th century. | Subjects: | strap end composite | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
