Description: | A narrow rectangular strap fitting, wrought in copper alloy. The strap end survives in one piece. The plate comprises one single plate of copper alloy, which has been folded widthways and shaped to form the front and back plate. Each plate is 0.8mm thick
A thin rectangular piece has been cut out of the plate either side of the fold, reducing the width of the plate at this junction. There are two small rivet holes in the end of the top plate.
Both plates have been bent, so that the object is now L-shaped. The colour of the metal surface ranges from mid greyish green to dark brown. This type of strapend dates from the 12th century to 14th century. Similar strapends can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p131. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
