Description: | A copper alloy medieval strap fitting. The piece is shaped like a wide 'D', with a collared knop projecting from the centre of the arc of the 'D'. Although it looks very much like a single looped buckle frame it does not appear been one because:
the side of the frame that would form the pin bar is not worn by either the pin or the strap;
there is a small (1.5mm diameter) worn central perforation through the frame where the pin would have been located, presumably for attachment;
the frame is worn at the shoulders on either side of the knop, presumably by straps.
The fitting is therefore presumably some form of swivel junction. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Evans, David - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
