Description: | Copper alloy strap mount. Foliate plate with two large attachment hooks at the back both bent inwards-possible strap slide. The hooks are bars of copper alloy with flat ends. The plate is similar in form and decoration to pendant elements of sword belt fittings of the 16th century (see B.Read, Metal Artefacts of Antiquity No373). It has a wide end which is trilobed with lobed sides tapering into the narrow end (also trilobed). The surface is decorated with a foliate pattern. Recorded at the Hidden Treasures Finds Day at the County Museum, Taunton. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
