Description: | Single sheet of copper folded widthways. Secured with five dome-headed copper alloy rivets, wide gap at the fold. Double line of punched, opposed triangles along sides and end of both faces. Organic remains of the strap survive between the folded sheet. Egan and Pritchard (1991) have tentatively identified an identical object (no.749) as a strap-end and not a buckle plate based on the fact that there is no hole for a buckle pin and that it is decorated on both sides. There is a possiblity it may be a plate for a folding clasp. Egan and Pritchard suggest the wide gap at the folded end is a result of the folding process during mass-production. The resulting objects could then be used either for strap-ends or undergo modification into buckle plates. | Subjects: | Strap-end | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
