Description: | Medieval copper alloy fitting, 200mm long and 15mm wide. The object is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 50.28 grams. The object consists of a large sheet of copper alloy which has been folded to strengthen it. Towards one end, 60mm in, it has two rectangular protrusions, 13mmx8mm, which are bent over at right angles to the main shaft and have small circular holes near their edge. Slightly further along are two rivets which hold a small rectangualr plate onto its underside. At this point decoration begins which consists of incised pairs of vertical lines and crosses. The object widens towards the end and has a small circular hole in its centre, 10mm from the edge. The use of this object isn't clear but it may be some sort of box binding. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
