Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting comprising a flat decoratively moulded plate with two arms, which join behind it to form a D-shaped loop. The plate is flat and the arms have been cast as one with the plate. The arms are bent behind the plate; one has folded over the other. The front decoratively moulded plate also has some basic engraved lines decorating the surface of the copper alloy. There is one engraved line at either end of the strap fitting, parallel to the terminals of the plate. The metal is pitted and quite worn; it is a mid greyish-green colour. This artefact is most probably medieval in date, although an earlier date cannot be ruled out. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
