Description: | Copper alloy strap-end which has been cast in one-piece. At one end there is a rectangular opening with a small rectangular projection at each side on both the upper and lower plates. The sides of the plates then extend and gradually expand forming concave sides. In this section the sides of the upper and lower plates are not joined. The object then begins to taper forming the main body of the strap-end. In this section the sides are straight and are joined together with slightly convex edges. The object terminates in another, slightly smaller, rectangular aperture. The upper and lower plates both have incised decoration in the form of double lines of opposed, punched triangles, with one longitudinally line down the centre and a series of other curvilinear lines. Dark patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, David W - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
