Description: | Copper alloy object, a fitting for a belt or strap, with a hook for suspension or for attaching to another fitting. The object comprises a flat circular plate with openwork decoration (D. 23.3mm. Th. 2.2mm) and a hook which extends from one side of the plate. On one surface of the plate there is a crude image of a crescent moon with a face, looking at a star. The shaft tapers to a rounded point and is bent back on itself to form the hook (W. 4.62-3.1mm. Th. 2.6-1.75mm). It is possible that this is one of a pair of opposing-facing fasteners, with the second being a mirror image with the hook at a slightly different angle so that the hooks linked together. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, David W - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
