Description: | A fragment of a medieval copper alloy harness fitting. The fitting consists of a flat rectangular end plate, with rounded and slightly extended corners. The plate has a central circular perforation. There are traces of dotted gilding on the rectangular plate. The plate is attached to a narrower rectangular section bar with a rectangular looped attachment. Beyond the looped attachment the bar continues and then widens to form a further flat rectangular plate. This rectangular plate also has rounded and slightly extended corners. The plate has a depressed circular cell, which shows traces of dotted gilding. Within the cell is a raised fleur-de-lis motif. Beyond the plate the rectangular section bar continues and then forks in two . One fork extends almost vertically from the bar whilst the other is too damaged to ascertain its original extent or direction.
The perforated end plate measures 12.46mm by 13.02mm. The rectangular attachment loop measures 21.49mm in length and 9.24mm in height. The rectangular plate decorated with a fleur-de-lis motif measures 12.66mm by 13.59mm. The object as a whole measures 73.27mm in length. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
