Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy possible strap fitting. Rectangular in shape, measuring 31.4mm in surviving length and 12.82mm in width. This object is slightly bent one third of the way along. It has two parallel incomplete probable rivet holes in the centre of the edge of either end. The front face is decorated with two sets of four opposing 'M' shaped motifs with a transverse bar in between them. There are also longitudinal boarder grooves along both of the long edges. Traces of gilding can also be seen on the front face. The back face is undecorated.
No parallel could be found for this object, due to the two probable incomplete rivet holes it is perhaps most likely to be a decorative strap or belt fitting. Its date is unknown. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
